Fix Y2038 issues with MyStartTime.
Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits
wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t,
i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs
on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers
are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start"
hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit
value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that
time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)
