fcup-settime: moved time() retrieval a little closer to the output
A fundamental problem with all simple time transfer tools is that there is
always some delay between the time retrieval on the source system and that
transmitted time being set on the destination, and the resulting time
on the destination system is off by that delay amount. This delay cannot
be fully eliminated when working in a simple environment like ours,
but we should make our best effort to minimize it. In the present case,
moving the atinterf_init() call before the time() retrieval should make
a teensy-tiny improvement.

The library built in this directory is a host side library, not for the target. This library implements some functions for handling packet exchanges with GPF, and it will be linked by some of the programs in the rvinterf suite. It needs to be noted that the RVTMUX channel belonging to GPF was named RVT_L23_HEADER by TI, and as a result, I thought that these packets related specifically to the higher layers of the protocol stack. But now we know that hierarchically speaking, GPF sits *below* L1, not above, and GPF packets should not be automatically associated with G23. This realization was made fairly late, thus "g23" appears in a bunch of function names, and in the name of this library.
