Fix cluster and hit finding in the STS detector when using 32-bit floating-point
precision. The issue occurs when calculating time differences between digis or
clusters with large timestamps - 32-bit floats lack sufficient precision for
representing nanosecond timestamps in the mCBM setup.

Add helper methods GetTimeDiff() that first convert timestamps to int before
calculating the difference, preserving precision and sign. Replace direct
floating-point timestamp subtractions throughout the code with calls to these
helper methods.

This resolves hit count discrepancies between 32-bit and 64-bit float versions,
reducing the difference from ~2.6% to ~0.04%.
