Make curl_getdate() handle dates before 1970 as well (returning negative
values).
Make test 517 test dates for 64 bit time_t.
This fixes bug (3) mentioned in #2238Closes#2250
Do not try to convert line-endings to CRLF on Windows by setting stdout
to binary mode, just like the curl tool does if --ascii is not specified.
This should prevent corrupted stdout line-ending output like CRCRLF.
In order to make the previously naive text-aware tests work with
binary mode on Windows, text-mode is disabled for them if it is not
actually part of the test case and line-endings are corrected.
The date format in RFC822 allows that the seconds part of HH:MM:SS is
left out, but this function didn't allow it. This change also includes a
modified test case that makes sure that this now works.

(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
