Have strftime() check its time tuple argument to make sure the tuple's values

are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.

This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).

Fixes bug #897625.
