Description:
------------
In the documentation for DateTime::createFromFormat, the Unix Epoch is 
defined (incorrectly) as 1970-01-01 00:00:00 whereas it is in fact 1970-
01-01 00:00:00 GMT.

Note that the former is only correct at GMT and BST during winter.  It 
is invalid for all other timezones.

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: datetime.createfromformat#Parameters

Log: Corrected definition of Unix Epoch. Fixes #50155

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

I have added the UTC timezone to that definition.
