kern: Make time_second and time_uptime macros that work atomically.

These use atomic load on platforms with atomic 64-bit load, and
seqlocks on platforms without.

This has the unfortunate side effect of slightly reducing the real
times available on 32-bit platforms, from ending some time in the
year 584942417218 AD, available on 64-bit platforms, to ending some
time in the year 584942417355 AD. But during that slightly shorter
time, 32-bit platforms can avoid bugs arising from non-atomic access
to time_uptime and time_second.

Note: All platforms still have non-atomic access problems for
bintime, binuptime, nanotime, nanouptime, &c. This can be addressed
by putting a seqlock around timebasebin and possibly some other
variable -- to be done in a later change.

XXX kernel ABI change -- deleting symbols

# 1.7 30-Oct-2018 kre

Minor update. This already knew that boottime is a timespec.
Just a minor wording change to avoid pretending that time_t
variables contain nanoseconds, and that the base time is UTC.
