date: detect underflow/overflow when parsing dates with timezone offset

Overriding the date of a commit to be close to "1970-01-01 00:00:00"
with a large enough positive timezone for the equivelant GMT time to be
before the epoch is considered valid by `parse_date_basic`. Similar
behaviour occurs when using a date close to "2099-12-31 23:59:59" (the
maximum date allowed by `tm_to_time_t`) with a large enough negative
timezone offset.

This leads to an integer underflow or underflow respectively in the
commit timestamp, which is not caught by `git-commit`, but will cause
other services to fail, such as `git-fsck`, which, for the first case,
reports "badDateOverflow: invalid author/committer line - date causes
integer overflow".

Instead check the timezone offset and fail if the resulting time comes
before the epoch "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z" or after the maximum date
"2099-12-31T23:59:59Z".

Using the REQUIRE_64BIT_TIME prerequisite, make sure that the tests
near the end of Git time (aka end of year 2099) are not attempted on
purely 32-bit systems, as they cannot express timestamp beyond 2038
anyway.
