ifstat, nstat: fix daemon mode
Since the relevant code (and it's bugs) is identical in both files, fix
them in one go. This patch fixes multiple issues:
* Using 'int' for the 'tdiff' variable does not suffice on 64bit
systems, the assigned initial time difference makes it wrap and
contain a negative value afterwards. Instead use the more appropriate
'time_t' type.
* As far as I understood the code, poll() is supposed to time out just
at the right time to trigger update_db() in the configured interval.
Therefore it's timeout must be set to the desired interval *minus* the
time that has already passed since then.
* With the last change to the algorithm in place, it does not make sense
to call update_db() before returning data to the connected client.
Actually, it never does otherwise we could skip the periodic updates
in the first place.
