[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.2.4] Warn at configure time when time_t is unsigned

    Warn at configure time when time_t is unsigned
    
    Inspired by #8042.
    
    As far as I know, OpenVMS is the only place you're likely to hit an
    unsigned time_t these days, and Tor's VMS support
    is... lacking. Still worth letting people know about it, though.
