Use year with same day-of-week pattern as fallback for out-of-range

The kludge previously implemented for handling dates outside the
supported time_t range, by asking for a corresponding date in a year
in the range, had a comment remarking that this is broken due to the
wrong day of the week and, consequently, the placement of DST
transitions, e.g. those scheduled by the last Sunday of a month,
happening on different dates in the year asked about and the in-range
year passed to the system time_t functions.

This can be handled by selecting a year in the time_t range which has
the same pattern days of the week (and length of the year, i.e
leap-ness). That may (particularly for leap years) need to select a
year far from the end of the range (and there may be a change to the
zone's rules between the selected year and the end).
