SFTP times will be wrong after Y2106

Description

This ticket is to document the fact that Tahoe's SFTP frontend reports and accepts metadata times in an unsigned 32-bit time field, which will wrap around at February 7 2106, 06:28:16 UTC. Clients are likely to print later dates incorrectly, unless they use windowing (and eventually that will be wrong if there are files whose metadata is before the window period). Some clients may print dates incorrectly past Y2037.
