hw/timer/hpet.c: Avoid signed integer overflow which results in bugs on OSX
Signed integer overflow in C is undefined behaviour, and the compiler
is at liberty to assume it can never happen and optimize accordingly.
In particular, the subtractions in hpet_time_after() and hpet_time_after64()
were causing OSX clang to optimize the code such that it was prone to
hangs and complaints about the main loop stalling (presumably because
we were spending all our time trying to service very high frequency
HPET timer callbacks). The clang sanitizer confirms the UB:
hw/timer/hpet.c:119:26: runtime error: signed integer overflow: -2146967296 - 2147003978 cannot be represented in type 'int'
Fix this by doing the subtraction as an unsigned operation and then
converting to signed for the comparison.
