Fix handling of Time values out of UnixNano range (uber-go#804)

Fixes uber-go#737, uber-go#803.

Time values are encoded by storing the UnixNano representation, but this
fails when the value of UnixNano is out of int64 range, see docs:

https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Time.UnixNano
> The result is undefined if the Unix time in nanoseconds cannot be
represented by an int64 (a date before the year 1678 or after 2262)

Fix this by storing values outside of UnixNano range as-is rather
than using UnixNano with a new Field type.
