gettime-res: fix unlikely overflow bug
* lib/gettime-res.c (gettime_res): Fix bug when hz * tv_sec overflows.
With 64-bit ‘long’ and nanosecond resolution the bug can occur
starting in the year 2262, with probability about 2e-9.
With 32-bit ‘long’ the bug can occur now, with same probability.
The probability goes up on hosts with worse timestamp resolution.
