Epoch/Unix timestamp command

Would really like to have a timestamp command that could return the number of seconds elapsed since epoch.

4D commands Milliseconds and Tickcount return the time elapsed for the current process.

SQL functions CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and CURTIMEreturn HH:MM:SS not seconds elapsed. (Never mind the apparent lack of a naming convention)

C_LONGINT($seconds_since_epoch)
` Time is currently a command that requires parameters
` lets change it so no params = unix timestamp
$seconds_since_epoch:=Time
