A problem area by recent refactoring of time to std::chrono has been the
unsafe conversion from duration<double> to std::chrono::seconds, which
is of an unspecified integer type.
This commit adds a template function that for a given type provides a
safe conversion, effectively clamping a duration<double> into what fits
safely in that type. A specialisation for int and unsigned int are
provided.
It changes the protential problem areas to use this safe function.
This commit introduces cmDuration as a typedef for
std::chrono::duration<double, std::ratio<1>>. It is less verbose and
provides for a point to put future common functionality for durations.
No functional change intended.
