time: time_t is signed, and mktime() is happy to return negative time

Passing a year such as 1960 to mktime() will result in a negative return
value. This is quite confusing, as the man page claims that on failure
the call will return -1...

Given that our own usec_t type is unsigned, and we can't express times
before 1970 hence, let's consider all negative times returned by
mktime() as invalid, regardless if just -1, or anything else negative.
