The algorithm for converting broken-down civil time to seconds in the
POSIX epoch time scale would produce undefined behavior on a toolchain
that uses a 32-bit time_t in cases where the referenced time could not
be represented exactly.
However, there are use cases in Zephyr for civil time conversions
outside the 32-bit representable range of 1901-12-13T20:45:52Z through
2038-01-19T03:14:07Z inclusive.
Add new API that specifically returns a 64-bit signed seconds count, and
revise the existing API to detect out-of-range values and convert them
to a diagnosible error.

timeutil_timegm() does not modify the passed structure, so it should
indicate that in the signature (even though the GNU extension does not).

Add a generic API to provide the inverse operation for gmtime and as a
home for future generic time-related functions that are not in POSIX.
