Background: As part of my work on reproducible builds for openSUSE, I check that software still gives identical build results in the future. The usual offset is +16 years, because that is how long I expect some software will be used in some places. This showed up failing tests in our package build. See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this matters.

The usual offset is +16 years, because that is how long I expect some software will be used in some places. This showed up failing tests in our package build. See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this matters. I tested that it passes on x86_64 in year 2041 and i586 in year 2037. (but on i586, I got `TESTFAIL: These test cases failed: 31 46 61 1415`) Closes curl#17665
