The timegm(3) function is a non-standard extension to libc which is
available in GNU libc and on some BSDs.  Although SunOS had this
function in its libc, Solaris (unfortunately) removed it.  This patch
implements a very simple version of timegm() which is good enough for
parse-time-string.c.

Although notmuch's idiom for portability is to test for native
availability and put alternate versions in compat/, that approach led to
a compilation problem in this case.  libnotmuch.a includes a call to
parse_time_string() from parse-time-vrp.o, and parse_time_string() in
libparse-time-string.a needs to call timegm().  An attempt to create
compat/timegm.c caused the link to fail, because libparse-time-string.a
acquired a dependency on the new timegm.o in libnotmuch.a, and the
linker only does a single pass on each ".a" looking for dependencies.
This seems to be the case both for the GNU linker and the Solaris
linker.  A different possible workaround would have been to include
libnotmuch.a multiple times on the link line, but that seemed like a
brittle way to track this dependency.
