In our various supported host OSes, the time_t type may be either 32 or 64 bit, and could in theory also be either signed or unsigned. Notably, in OpenBSD time_t is a 64 bit type even if 'long' is 32 bits, so using LONG_MAX for TIME_MAX is incorrect.
Use an approach suggested by Paolo Bonzini which calculates the maximum value of the type rather than hardcoding it; to do this we use the TYPE_MAXIMUM macro from Gnulib.
