commit 96ec99479c89cac13ac310b0b85536e6973c2af1

    Add secondsToDiffTime and picosecondsToDiffTime.
    
    Rationale:
    As has come up on haskell-cafe
    (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/15653), it
    takes a while to figure out how to make DiffTime values.
    
    secondsToDiffTime is not that important since it is just another name
    for fromInteger, but I suspect that it would be used a lot.  Using
    fromRational to create a DiffTime from a number of picoseconds is a
    bit of a hassle, so having a picosecondsToDiffTime would be useful.
