(RADIATOR) Expanding Radius::Util::conversions ...

[Jose Borges Ferreira]

Hi Hugh

My motivation to expand formater was to provide a simpler way to convert
between perl, time and Diameter Time.
Perhaps it make more sense to apply this on the encoder/decoder , since
there are more tools/functions/backends to work
on unix timestamps rather than NTP format.

By this time i do sum and the subtraction directly on attribute operations.
What do you think ?

sub ntptime2systime { return $_[0] - 2208988800 };
sub systime2ntptime { return $_[0] + 2208988800 };
