[PATCH] use const in time.h unit conversion functions

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>

The time conversion functions may have const args, which is in fact useful
for when they are passed const variables as arguments so as to avoid
discarding qualifiers from pointer types warnings.  This is a preparatory
cleanup for a minor aio bugfix.
