GncDateTime: New exceptions and a 32-bit time_t problem.
Boost::date_time has changed to throwing a std::out_of_range instead of a
boost::date_time::gregorian::bad_year when a date is outside of the
1400-9999 year range it can deal with.
We also recently discovered that it will use the system localtime function
when creating a new date which can lead to a 2038 failure. Use std::chrono
to resolve that problem.
