We just suppress signed integer-overflow warning implicitly by casting (and get an unsigned integer-overflow warning instead — try `luajit -e "os.time({ day = 0, month = 0, year = 0 })"` with clang and -fsanitize=integer).

The ignored warning is meaningful in a case, when we get a valid input for mktime() and it returns a valid output for it args, but that result is invalid for args of os.time() due to integer overflow.

I think, the range checks for Lua os.time() args are needed to provide predictable error response. At least, a check for year arg to prevent the invalid result of os.time().

Where are some example calls below (Ubuntu 24, amd64) with some debug printing.

Some more calls for example: the mktime() may ignore invalid tm_mday, tm_mon values of struct tm and update them in a «no error» case.
