[tor-commits] [tor/master] Avoid integer overflow on fast 32-bit millisecond conversion.

    Avoid integer overflow on fast 32-bit millisecond conversion.
    
    Multiply-then-divide is more accurate, but it runs into trouble when
    our input is above INT32_MAX/numerator.  So when our value is too
    large, do divide-then-multiply instead.
    
    Fixes part of bug 27139; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
