A new interface for the GTime class has been defined.

First, the time reference has been removed from the class, as now GTime stores the time in a GammaLib native time reference. As zero time, January 1, 2010 00:00:00 (TT) has been chosen.

Then, the met() method has been removed and replaced by secs() and days() methods.

The convert() and set() methods have been added to convert a GTime time into any given time reference, and to set the time using a value given in any given time reference.

What is still missing is conversion between TT and UTC. As the implementation is not urgent, a special feature #653 was created to remind about the missing implementation.
