[PATCH] lib: avoid casting gint64 to time_t

[David Bremner]

This is a partial fix for problems with 64 bit timestamps on 32 bit
architectures. In certain (not completely understood by me) cases this
casting causes 32bit overflows and yields negative timestamps for
times in the far future.

In g_mime_utils_header_decode_date_unix, there is really no reason to
cast to and from time_t.

In _notmuch_message_set_header_values, we rely on implicit casting of
the argument to Xapian::sortable_serialise to double.
---

 This is not a complete fix, but at least the timestamp ends up
 aparently correct in the database. It looks like there are still
 wonky conversions on reading the large timestamp from the database.
