Description:
------------
When DateTime::createFromFormat('U', strtotime('1962-11-17T00:00:00+00:00') is executed the result is false as strtotime('1962-11-17T00:00:00+00:00') is negative.

Using date function with the same input works OK

Test script:
---------------
echo date('YmdHis', strtotime('1962-11-17T00:00:00+00:00'));  // 19621117000000


print_r(DateTime::createFromFormat('U', strtotime('1962-11-17T00:00:00+00:00'), new \DateTimeZone('UTC'))->format('YmdHis'));   // fails as createFromFormat returns false

I can confirm the issue, see <https://3v4l.org/mT3CX>. However, it
has recently been fixed in master[1], and might be backported.

I've pushed it to 5.6 and up - there is no need for a further back port.

I can confirm that the issue is solved in PHP-7.0 and master, but
not in PHP-5.6, as the following PHPT fails there:

    --TEST--
    Bug #66836 (DateTime::createFromFormat 'U' with pre 1970 dates fails parsing)
    --FILE--
    <?php
    $timestamp = '-1';
    $dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $timestamp);
    var_dump($dt->format('U') === $timestamp);
    ?>
    --EXPECT--
    bool(true)

@cmb, I can't reproduce that:

[GIT: PHP-5.6][PHP: 5.6.20-dev  ]
derick@whisky:~/dev/php/php-src.git $ php
    <?php
    $timestamp = '-1';
    $dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $timestamp);
var_dump($dt, $dt->format('U'), $timestamp);
?>

But fixed in .25-dev:

[GIT: PHP-5.6][PHP: 5.6.25-dev  ]
derick@whisky:~/dev/php/php-src.git $ php
    <?php
    $timestamp = '-1';
    $dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $timestamp);
var_dump($dt, $dt->format('U'), $timestamp);
?>
    -:4:
class DateTime#1 (3) {
  public $date =>
  string(26) "1969-12-31 23:59:59.000000"
  public $timezone_type =>
  int(1)
  public $timezone =>
  string(6) "+00:00"
}
-:4:
string(2) "-1"
-:4:
string(2) "-1"

The test fails because of the date.timezone warning. So everything
is okay. Sorry for the noise.

I have added a regression test and the NEWS entry:

This bug fix was not mentioned in the 5.6.24 change logs, could it be added please?
