allow 32-bit platforms to encode certs with dates > unix epoch (#4727)
Previously we used unix timestamps, but now we are switching to using ASN1_TIME_set_string and automatically formatting the string based on the year. The rule is as follows: Per RFC 5280 (section 4.1.2.5.), the valid input time strings should be encoded with the following rules: 1. UTC: YYMMDDHHMMSSZ, if YY < 50 (20YY) --> UTC: YYMMDDHHMMSSZ 2. UTC: YYMMDDHHMMSSZ, if YY >= 50 (19YY) --> UTC: YYMMDDHHMMSSZ 3. G'd: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ, if YYYY >= 2050 --> G'd: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ 4. G'd: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ, if YYYY < 2050 --> UTC: YYMMDDHHMMSSZ Notably, Dates < 1950 are not valid UTCTime. At the moment we still reject dates < Jan 1, 1970 in all cases but a followup PR can fix that.
