Bug description:  Date read from amf as double not int64

Description:
------------
teh serialized date is read from an AMF stream as a double and then
re-ordered as big endian instead of being read as an int64 per the spec.
The double is unusable in PHP as a date anyhow.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$amf = amf_decode($amfstream);
echo $amf['date'];

Expected result:
----------------
An integer or double value that is usable in PHP

Actual result:
--------------
3.123456789E-306

--- SOLUTION?  ---
For PHP5.x read the int64, convert from milliseconds to seconds and return
as ZVAL_LONG with a big fat note of the precision loss.
