Introduced time truncation to December 31, 9999 (ticket #1368).

Various buffers are allocated in an assumption that there would be
no more than 4 year digits.  This might not be true on platforms
with 64-bit time_t, as 64-bit time_t is able to represent more than that.
Such dates with more than 4 year digits hardly make sense though, as
various date formats in use do not allow them anyway.

As such, all dates are now truncated by ngx_gmtime() to December 31, 9999.
This should have no effect on valid dates, though will prevent potential
buffer overflows on invalid ones.
