Fix leap second overflow in datetime parsing (#1015)

Normalize leap seconds (second=60) to second=59 before passing to
time.Date() to prevent year overflow. When Go's time.Date() receives
second=60, it normalizes the time by adding 1 minute, which can cause
dates like 9999-12-31 23:59:60 to overflow to year 10000 - outside
the valid TOML date range (0000-9999).

This fix ensures that timestamps with leap seconds can be successfully
round-tripped (parsed and re-serialized) without causing parsing errors.

Fixes OSS-Fuzz issue 472183443

+### Test across Go versions
+
+The repository includes tooling to test go-toml across multiple Go versions
+(1.11 through 1.25) both locally and in GitHub Actions.
+
+#### Local testing with Docker
+
+Prerequisites: Docker installed and running, Bash shell, `rsync` command.
+
+```bash
+# Test all Go versions in parallel (default)
+./test-go-versions.sh
+
+# Test specific versions
+./test-go-versions.sh 1.21 1.22 1.23
+
+# Test sequentially (slower but uses less resources)
+./test-go-versions.sh --sequential
+
+# Verbose output with custom results directory
+./test-go-versions.sh --verbose --output ./my-results 1.24 1.25
+
+# Show all options
+./test-go-versions.sh --help
+```
+
+The script creates Docker containers for each Go version and runs the full test
+suite. Results are saved to a `test-results/` directory with individual logs and
+a comprehensive summary report.
+
+The script only exits with a non-zero status code if either of the two most
+recent Go versions fail.
+
+#### GitHub Actions testing (maintainers)
+
+1. Go to the **Actions** tab in the GitHub repository
+2. Select **"Go Versions Compatibility Test"** from the workflow list
+3. Click **"Run workflow"**
+4. Optionally customize:
+   - **Go versions**: Space-separated list (e.g., `1.21 1.22 1.23`)
+   - **Execution mode**: Parallel (faster) or sequential (more stable)

+	$ go install github.com/pelletier/go-toml/v2/cmd/tomll@latest
+	$ tomll --help

+Usage: $0 [OPTIONS] [GO_VERSIONS...]
+
+Test go-toml across multiple Go versions using Docker containers.
+
+The script reports the lowest continuous supported Go version (where all subsequent 
+versions pass) and only exits with non-zero status if either of the two most recent 
+Go versions fail, indicating immediate attention is needed.
+
+Note: For Go versions < 1.21, the script automatically updates go.mod to match the 
+target version, but older versions may still fail due to missing standard library 
+features (e.g., the 'slices' package introduced in Go 1.21).
+
+OPTIONS:
+    -h, --help          Show this help message
+    -s, --sequential    Run tests sequentially instead of in parallel
+    -v, --verbose       Enable verbose output
+    -o, --output DIR    Output directory for test results (default: test-results)
+    -t, --timeout TIME  Docker timeout for each test (default: 10m)
+    --list              List available Go versions and exit
+
+ARGUMENTS:
+    GO_VERSIONS         Specific Go versions to test (default: all supported versions)
+                        Examples: 1.21 1.22 1.23
+
+EXAMPLES:

+
+EXIT CODES:
