Subject: shared/calendarspec: when mktime() moves us backwards, jump forward
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When trying to calculate the next firing of 'Sun *-*-* 01:00:00', we'd fall
into an infinite loop, because mktime() moves us "backwards":

Before this patch:
tm_within_bounds: good=0 2021-03-29 01:00:00 → 2021-03-29 00:00:00
tm_within_bounds: good=0 2021-03-29 01:00:00 → 2021-03-29 00:00:00
tm_within_bounds: good=0 2021-03-29 01:00:00 → 2021-03-29 00:00:00
...

We rely on mktime() normalizing the time. The man page does not say that it'll
move the time forward, but our algorithm relies on this. So let's catch this
case explicitly.

With this patch:
$ TZ=Europe/Dublin faketime 2021-03-21 build/systemd-analyze calendar --iterations=5 'Sun *-*-* 01:00:00'
Normalized form: Sun *-*-* 01:00:00
    Next elapse: Sun 2021-03-21 01:00:00 GMT
       (in UTC): Sun 2021-03-21 01:00:00 UTC
       From now: 59min left
       Iter. #2: Sun 2021-04-04 01:00:00 IST
       (in UTC): Sun 2021-04-04 00:00:00 UTC
       From now: 1 weeks 6 days left           <---- note the 2 week jump here
       Iter. #3: Sun 2021-04-11 01:00:00 IST
       (in UTC): Sun 2021-04-11 00:00:00 UTC
       From now: 2 weeks 6 days left
       Iter. #4: Sun 2021-04-18 01:00:00 IST
       (in UTC): Sun 2021-04-18 00:00:00 UTC
       From now: 3 weeks 6 days left
       Iter. #5: Sun 2021-04-25 01:00:00 IST
       (in UTC): Sun 2021-04-25 00:00:00 UTC
       From now: 1 months 4 days left
