This PR makes the minimum necessary changes to workaround #1364. It's not a full fix but it will allow people to use chrono to get the local time of files with a creation time of zero. I believe this to be worthwhile in the interim until a better patch lands.
If getting the offset for 1601 fails with
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
then this patch instead calculates the offset for 1602. This works only because the 1600's are long enough ago that dynamic timezones aren't a concern and negative timezone offsets will always be much less than a year (typically a few hours).
