lib/timeutils.c:strxxx_iso: do not wrap tm_year
Year can wrap when adding the tm struct epoch during iso formatting:
hwclock --utc --noadjfile --predict --date '67768034678844900 seconds'
-2147481749-12-31 23:59:59.000000-05:00
Patched:
hwclock --utc --noadjfile --predict --date '67768034678844900 seconds'
2147485547-12-31 23:59:59.000000-05:00
Comparable to date(1):
date -Ins --date '67768034678844900 seconds'
2147485547-12-31T23:59:59,547886165-0500
Note: the 'seconds' argument is relative to the current time, so
reaching this max year output is a moving target. The values shown
above were invalid one second later. They then overflow tm_year
upon conversion with localtime(3) and friends, which causes them
to return NULL indicating that an error occurred.
