Brett Cannon 4d94743c28 When range checking was added to time.strftime() a check was placed on tm_isdst
to make sure it fell within [-1, 1] just in case someone implementing
strftime() in libc was stupid enough to assume this. Turns out, though, some
OSs (e.g. zOS) are stupid enough to use values outside of this range for time
structs created by the system itself. So instead of throwing a ValueError,
tm_isdst is now normalized before being passed to strftime().

Fixes issue #6823. Thanks Robert Shapiro for diagnosing the problem and
contributing an initial patch.
