Create a typedef for timestep time.

[vyasr]

@joaander out of scope for this PR, and maybe just too late altogether now that #894 has been merged, but something I just thought of: perhaps it would be a good idea to typedef uint64_t TimestepType? I actually don't think it would be horribly difficult, a find hoomd -regex '.*\.(?:h|cc|cu|cuh)' -exec sed -i 's/uint64_t timestep/TimestepType timestep/g' \; should get you most of the way there. More than future proofing (I can't imagine the time step type changing again anytime soon), this would make the code more readable and easier to avoid errors from future devs.

Or possibly using TimestepType = uint64_t;. See this StackOverflow post for some details.
