- Add TimeTo32_FatFS() to decode FatFS fdate/ftime fields via mktime()
- Use converted timestamp for atime/mtime instead of raw fdate

Pull request overview
This PR updates the SFTP FatFS backend to report file timestamps as Unix epoch seconds instead of returning raw FatFS fdate values, aligning the returned attributes with SFTP’s expected time representation.
Changes:
- Add a FatFS
fdate/ftimedecoder (TimeTo32_FatFS()) that builds astruct tmand converts it viamktime(). - Populate
atr->atime/atr->mtimeusing the converted Unix timestamp (rather than rawinfo.fdate).

struct tm.tm_yearis defined as “years since 1900”, butWS_GETYEAR(d)returns a FatFS year offset from 1980 (0..127). As written this will convert 1980->1900, 2024->1944, etc. Adjust the year by +80 (same as the existing Nucleus TimeTo32() implementation above) before callingmktime().
tmp.tm_mday = WS_GETDAY(d);
tmp.tm_mon = WS_GETMON(d);
tmp.tm_year = WS_GETYEAR(d);
tmp.tm_hour = WS_GETHOUR(t);

- This adds a new platform-specific date/time conversion that’s easy to get subtly wrong (year base, month base, seconds/2). There is an internal regression test for the analogous Nucleus month conversion (
TestNucleusMonthConversion); consider adding a smallWOLFSSH_TEST_INTERNALhelper + regress test for FatFS conversion (at least year base + month conversion) so future refactors don’t break timestamps again.

tmp.tm_mday = WS_GETDAY(d);
tmp.tm_mon = WS_GETMON(d);
tmp.tm_year = WS_GETYEAR(d);
tmp.tm_hour = WS_GETHOUR(t);
tmp.tm_min = WS_GETMIN(t);
tmp.tm_sec = WS_GETSEC(t);
return mktime(&tmp);
