[issue13847] Catch time(), ftime(), localtime() and clock() errors

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

Attach patch catchs errors on time(), ftime(), localtime() and clock(). It changes floattime() and _Py_gettimeofday() signature: result now indicates if an error occurred or not, and these function now directly raise an exception.

Catching time() error is maybe overflow: modern version of its manual page don't mention errors.
