Description:
------------
DST detection for late dates (timestamp over int32)


Test script:
---------------
$date = new DateTime('2020-05-25 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Warsaw'));
echo $date->format(DateTime::ATOM), ' ', $date->format('I U');

$date = new DateTime('2050-05-25 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Warsaw'));
echo $date->format(DateTime::ATOM), ' ', $date->format('I U');


Expected result:
----------------
2020-05-25T12:00:00+02:00 1 1590400800
2050-05-25T12:00:00+02:00 1 2537089200

Actual result:
--------------
2020-05-25T12:00:00+02:00 1 1590400800
2050-05-25T12:00:00+01:00 0 2537089200

DST information is provided by IANAs timezonedb. That DB is considered accurate only with in half a year. 

No one knows whether a certain area still has DST within the next 10 years, So requesting that information 40 years in advance needs to result in a wrong information. You can NOT relly on that as it is subject to change on short notice. 

Depending on your use-case you should consider a different approach.
