parse_timestamp(): specify explicitly where we parse timestamps

Currently, Git's source code represents all timestamps as `unsigned
long`. In preparation for using a more appropriate data type, let's
introduce a symbol `parse_timestamp` (currently being defined to
`strtoul`) where appropriate, so that we can later easily switch to,
say, use `strtoull()` instead.
