Bug description: DateInterval has a limitation of 4 chars for ISO durations
Description:
------------
If you want to create a DateInterval of 36000 seconds (10 hours) the
creation will fail because you have a limit of 4 chars in the format
accepted by the constructor.
Up to days you can do the "carry over" calculation for yourself (But not
for months or years), but if you get an offset in seconds from a source you
cannot control it would be nice if you could just do:
$date->add(new DateInterval('PT' . $seconds . 'S'));
Now you have to check if seconds exceeds the limit an if it exceeds the
limit you have to recalculate yourself. That is not nice from a user point
of view.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$d = new DateTime('2008-01-01 10:00:00 UTC');
$d->add(new DateInterval('PT36000S'));
echo $d->format(DATE_ISO8601), PHP_EOL;
Expected result:
----------------
2008-01-01T20:00:00+0000
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message
