gzip: diagnose out-of-range MTIME

This seems to be the problem reported by Bruno Haible for GNU/Hurd
i386 with touch 8.26 and glibc 2.24 (Bug#29033#20).
* NEWS: Document this.
* gzip.c (get_method): If MTIME is out of range for
this platform, warn and substitute the nearest in-range
value, instead of silently ignoring it.
(do_list): Remove no-longer-needed test for unknown time stamp.
