curl cookie expire date weirdness

It appears that test case 46 now breaks due to the date parsers having gone
nuts. (The currently checked-in test case fails on all versions.)

The older curls, including 7.9.1 (getdate.y vesion 1.12) get this diff:

< 127.0.0.1 FALSE / FALSE 1262322000 ckyPersistent
permanent

---
> 127.0.0.1	FALSE	/	FALSE	1014678000	ckyPersistent
permanent
(Watch column five from the left. The lower time is what is stored in the
test case, and the upper is computed run-time by curl)
While the current curl gets this:
< 127.0.0.1	FALSE	/	FALSE	1015282800	ckyPersistent
permanent
---
> 127.0.0.1	FALSE	/	FALSE	1014678000	ckyPersistent
permanent
And the GNU date command says with the same date input:
$ date -d "Tue, 01-Jan-2010 05:00:00 GMT" +"%s"
1262322000
So, we're now on version 1.16 of the getdate.y file. One of the changes
brought this problem.
Tomorrow, I'll start ripping out single versions of that file to see exactly
which revision that brought this problem.
