use int64 when compare two time

int32 only represent only 136 years when comparing two times based on second. It would be better to use int64.

"int32", "int32_t" and "'int' which happens to be 32 bit" are all
different types;
your changelog message is confusing them.

Anyway, maybe we should be using time_t here? The functions use that
internally anyway so is there a reason not to just use it in the API too?

int32 and int64 are softfloat types and should not be used here.

Do you have an actual use case that breaks with int / int32_t?

That's wrong, %ld is for long. For int64_t you need to use PRId64.

The range of int is from (-2^31~2^31-1). This means it only can express (-2^31~2^31-1) seconds, about -68 years ~ +68 years compare with now. 
You can use "-rtc base=YYYY-MM-DD" to set the RTC start date and if (base - now) greater than 68 year, then you will see error message in windows guest and the date will roll back to 1944.

time_t contains seconds since Epoch, which is not the case with
offsets in qemu_get_timedate/qemu_timedate_diff.
