    X.509: Fix leap year handling again · ac4cbedf

    There are still a couple of minor issues in the X.509 leap year handling:
    
     (1) To avoid doing a modulus-by-400 in addition to a modulus-by-100 when
         determining whether the year is a leap year or not, I divided the year
         by 100 after doing the modulus-by-100, thereby letting the compiler do
         one instruction for both, and then did a modulus-by-4.
    
         Unfortunately, I then passed the now-modified year value to mktime64()
         to construct a time value.
    
         Since this isn't a fast path and since mktime64() does a bunch of
         divisions, just condense down to "% 400".  It's also easier to read.
    
     (2) The default month length for any February where the year doesn't
         divide by four exactly is obtained from the month_length[] array where
         the value is 29, not 28.
    
         This is fixed by altering the table.
