[DCCP]: Debug timeval operations
Problem:
Most target types in the CCID3 code are u32, so subtle conversion errors
can occur if signed time calculations yield negative results: the original
values are lost in the conversion to unsigned, calculation errors go undetected.
This patch therefore
* sets all critical time types from unsigned to suseconds_t
* avoids comparison between signed/unsigned via type-casting
* provides ample warning messages in case time calculations are negative
These warning messages can be removed at a later stage when the code
has undergone more testing.
