Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were
unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them.
There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows,
time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch
away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type.
So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being
defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for
timestamps.

Currently, Git's source code represents all timestamps as `unsigned
long`. In preparation for using a more appropriate data type, let's
introduce a symbol `parse_timestamp` (currently being defined to
`strtoul`) where appropriate, so that we can later easily switch to,
say, use `strtoull()` instead.

Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned long, which is
ill-defined, as there is no guarantee about the number of bits that
data type has.
In preparation of switching to another data type that is large enough
to hold "far in the future" dates, we need to prepare the t0006-date.sh
script for the case where we *still* cannot format those dates if the
system library uses 32-bit time_t.

Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs. On 32-bit
platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough to
capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future".
It is perfectly valid by the C standard, of course, for the `long` data
type to refer to 32-bit integers. That is why the `time_t` data type
exists: so that it can be 64-bit even if `long` is 32-bit. Git's source
code simply uses an incorrect data type for timestamps, is all.
The earlier quick fix 6b9c38e14c (t0006: skip "far in the future" test
when unsigned long is not long enough, 2016-07-11) papered over this
issue simply by skipping the respective test cases on platforms where
they would fail due to the data type in use.
This quick fix, however, tests for *long* to be 64-bit or not. What we
need, though, is a test that says whether *whatever data type we use for
timestamps* is 64-bit or not.
The same quick fix was used to handle the similar problem where Git's
source code uses `unsigned long` to represent size, instead of `size_t`,
conflating the two issues.
So let's just add another prerequisite to test specifically whether
timestamps are represented by a 64-bit data type or not. Later, after we
switch to a larger data type, we can flip that prerequisite to test
`time_t` instead of `long`.

In its `atom_value` struct, the ref-filter source code wants to store
different values in a field called `ul` (for `unsigned long`), e.g.
timestamps.
However, as we are about to switch the data type of timestamps away from
`unsigned long` (because it may be 32-bit even when `time_t` is 64-bit),
that data type is not large enough.
Simply change that field to use `uintmax_t` instead.
This patch is a bit larger than the mere change of the data type
because the field's name was tied to its data type, which has been fixed
at the same time.

The last test in 't6500-gc', 'background auto gc does not run if
gc.log is present and recent but does if it is old', added in
a831c06a2 (gc: ignore old gc.log files, 2017-02-10), may sporadically
trigger an error message from the test harness:
rm: cannot remove 'trash directory.t6500-gc/.git/objects': Directory not empty
The test in question ends with executing an auto gc in the backround,
which occasionally takes so long that it's still running when
'test_done' is about to remove the trash directory. This 'rm -rf
$trash' in the foreground might race with the detached auto gc to
create and delete files and directories, and gc might (re-)create a
path that 'rm' already visited and removed, triggering the above error
message when 'rm' attempts to remove its parent directory.
Commit bb05510e5 (t5510: run auto-gc in the foreground, 2016-05-01)
fixed the same problem in a different test script by simply
disallowing background gc. Unfortunately, what worked there is not
applicable here, because the purpose of this test is to check the
behavior of a detached auto gc.
Make sure that the test doesn't continue before the gc is finished in
the background with a clever bit of shell trickery:
- Open fd 9 in the shell, to be inherited by the background gc
process, because our daemonize() only closes the standard fds 0,
1 and 2.
- Duplicate this fd 9 to stdout.
- Read 'git gc's stdout, and thus fd 9, through a command
substitution. We don't actually care about gc's output, but this
construct has two useful properties:
- This read blocks until stdout or fd 9 are open. While stdout is
closed after the main gc process creates the background process
and exits, fd 9 remains open until the backround process exits.
- The variable assignment from the command substitution gets its
exit status from the command executed within the command
substitution, i.e. a failing main gc process will cause the test
to fail.
Note, that this fd trickery doesn't work on Windows, because due to
MSYS limitations the git process only inherits the standard fds 0, 1
and 2 from the shell. Luckily, it doesn't matter in this case,
because on Windows daemonize() is basically a noop, thus 'git gc
--auto' always runs in the foreground.
And since we can now continue the test reliably after the detached gc
finished, check that there is only a single packfile left at the end,
i.e. that the detached gc actually did what it was supposed to do.
Also add a comment at the end of the test script to warn developers of
future tests about this issue of long running detached gc processes.

split_cmdline(), but checks only for a non-zero return to

negative values (and a NULL argv) on error, we end up
dereferencing NULL and segfaulting.
Arguably we could report on the parsing error here, but it's
probably not worth it. This is a best-effort attempt to see
if we are using plink. So we can simply return here with

I'm not yet comfortable at the idea of removing
