shared/calendarspec: when mktime() moves us backwards, jump forward

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:
