The Gpodder API returns a timestamp value for certain routes indicating the value that should be used as the since parameter for the next request to the endpoint.

The current implementation always returns the timestamp of the latest element incremented by 1. This isn't correct if the latest returned element is in the past. The timestamp should reflect that no more elements are present between the last element's timestamp and the current UNIX timestamp.

To fix this, the API should instead return the current UNIX timestamp if it's returning the latest elements.
