Merge #968

968: Make sys::time::{time_t, suseconds_t} public r=asomers a=jmmv This allows handling the return values of other public functions (such as TimeVal's tv_sec and tv_usec) without having to pull in these types from libc (which is ugly if a project is trying to use nix exclusively to avoid libc's unsafety).
