rdann: store sample as an array of int64.

Benjamin Moody · Benjamin Moody · commit c098e38b2945 · 2021-09-30T12:31:03.000-04:00
For long records, annotation timestamps (sample numbers) can easily
exceed the range of a numpy 'int' on 32-bit architectures.  Therefore,
store the 'sample' array as 'int64' instead.
