Do we need a few new types?

POSIX has time_t
ntp_types.h has time64_t

There are various places that are working with seconds since NTP epoch.  They 
are using uint32_t and uint64_t.

I think we want something like ntp_time32_t and ntp_time64_t.

I'm looking for something that will tell the reader that it's a seconds since 
NTP epoch, parallel but different from a POSIX time_t.


I think we will also want come better names/aliases for things like lfpuint
