htsparse: keep makestat_time out of ENGINE_SET_CONTEXT

makestat_time throttles the makestat/maketrack stats to once per minute:
the wait loop compares time_local() against it and, when it fires, writes
it back to the local. But the field is by-value in the extended context,
so it can't round-trip through ENGINE_SAVE_CONTEXT, while ENGINE_SET_CONTEXT
re-read it from the load-once baseline on every loop iteration. That reset
the local before the next compare, so under -%v / maketrack the throttle
never held and the stats line plus the full back-stack dump were emitted
every iteration.

Drop makestat_time (and the never-changing makestat_fp) from SET_CONTEXT;
they belong to the load-once set. Wrapped the macro in clang-format off/on
for the same backslash-realignment reason as HT_ADD_END.
