Fix bug #1520914. Starting in 2.4, time.strftime() began to check the bounds
of values in the time tuple passed in. Unfortunately people came to rely on undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was within the valid range. Now those values force the value internally to the minimum value when 0 is passed in.

+- Bug #1520914: Change time.strftime() to accept a zero for any position in its
+ argument tuple. For arguments where zero is illegal, the value is forced to
+ the minimum value that is correct. This is to support an undocumented but
+ common way people used to fill in inconsequential information in the time
+ tuple pre-2.4.
