TASK DESCRIPTION
  I can't find the original source but certain sources hint ["that sometimes, 
but very rarely, a particular minute will contain 59, 61, or 62 
seconds."](https://books.google.de/books?id=4MQlic6zkuAC&pg=PA293&dq="62 
seconds")
  ["According to the definition of leap seconds it is possible for two leap 
seconds to be applied at once. This has never occured and is very unlikely to 
ever occur."](http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/office/given/timekeeping.html)
  Java: ["A second is represented by an integer from 0 to 61 (...) it is 
extremely unlikely that two leap seconds will occur in the same minute, but 
this specification follows the date and time conventions for ISO 
C."](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Date.html)
  
  I suggest to simply follow Java and limit the range to [0..61], not to 
[0..62] as in our current `TimeValue` implementation.
  
  This would be a non-breaking change on Wikidata.org because we do not support 
seconds yet. But it's a possible breaking change on other Wikibase repos.
