Subject: [PATCH RFC V2 3/6] time: keep track of the pending utc/tai threshold

This patch introduces time keeping variables to track the next
mini-epoch between the UTC and TAI timescales. A leap second occurs
one second before a mini-epoch. When no leap second is pending, then
the epoch is set to the far future, LONG_MAX.

This code will become useful later on for providing correct time
surrounding a leap second.
