Remove support for unsigned time_t

Browse Source 
We've never actually tested this support, and we should probably assume
it's broken.

To the best of my knowledge, only OpenVMS has this, and even on
OpenVMS it's a compile-time option to disable it.  And I don't think
we build on openvms anyway.  (Everybody else seems to be working
around the 2038 problem by using a 64-bit time_t, which won't expire
for roughly 292 billion years.)

Closes ticket 18184.

o Removed platform support:
- Tor no longer attempts to support platforms where the "time_t" type
is unsigned. (To the best of our knowledge, only OpenVMS does this,
and Tor has never actually built on OpenVMS.) Closes ticket 18184.
