you introduce language about restricting the timeout to a signed 32bit value,
as time_t is not well-defined on 32bit systems.
What I'm somehow missing is where we are using time_t in this context? Neither
osmo_fsm code nor the underlying osmo_timer_list seems to be using time_t.
I think I was first considering to use time_t, but since that didn't provide a
fixed range in a cross-platform way, I chose int32_t instead. IIRC.
