We only need backward compatibility in the API/ABI and that's basically just
the curl_easy_setopt() options that set timeouts. So internally we can change
to counting milliseconds all over. Or rather, we'd need to keep seconds +
milliseconds if we want to be really backwards compatible since 32 bits only
can keep around 50 days when counting milliseconds but 68 years when counting
full seconds.
