Bug description: allow colons in time zone offset to strtotime()
Description:
------------
The strtotime() function doesn't allow time zone offsets to contain colons
":" in them. Colons are included in several offset formmating standards.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$t = '2003-10-28 10:20:30-0800';
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s T', strtotime($t)) . "\n<br />\n";
$t = '2003-10-28 10:20:30-08:00';
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s T', strtotime($t)) . "\n";
Expected result:
----------------
2003-10-28 13:20:30 EST
<br />
2003-10-28 13:20:30 EST
Actual result:
--------------
2003-10-28 13:20:30 EST
<br />

On Windows 2000, the attempt with the colons in the offset produces a
negative timestamp, so the beloved "Windows does not support dates prior
to midnight" warning arises.
