Description:
------------
DateTime object instantiation with negative input string via 
'createFromFormat' and same argument just as construction argument display weird behaviour. 

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '0045-01-01')); // works
var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '-0045-01-01')); //  false
var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat('-Y-m-d', '-0045-01-01')); // works, but year is positive instead of negative

var_dump(new DateTime('0045-01-01')); // works
var_dump(new DateTime('-0045-01-01')); // works
var_dump(new DateTime('0045/01/01')); // works

var_dump(new DateTime('-0045/01/01')); // exception

Fortunately 'U' already supports signed numbers so extending that to 'Y' shouldn't be difficult.

We are affected by this issue too.

This maybe should be reclassified as a Feature request, leaving Derick to decide about it.

I am marking this as "won't fix". If you are still interested in having this feature, please file a new issue at https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/ with a well defined and explained use case.
