Before, we used to reject profiles where the creation datetime was
invalid per spec. But invalid dates happen in practice (most commonly,
all fields set to 0). They don't affect profile conversion at all,
so be lenient about this, in exchange for slightly more wordy code
in the places that want to show the creation datetime.

The values aren't 100% self-consistent, but it probably doesn't make
a difference for u8 color data. Good enough for now. See all the links
on #17714 for some more background.
This might be useful for converting data from arbitrary profiles to
sRGB.
For now, this only encodes the transfer function and puts in zero values
for chromaticities, whitepoint, and chromatic adaptation matrix.
This makes the profile unusable for now. But I've spent a very long time
reading things and need to check in some code, and it's some progress.
The encoded transfer function exactly matches the one in GIMP's built-in
sRGB ICC profile (but not the Compact-ICC-Profiles v4 one or the
RawTherapee v4 one -- I'll add a comment about why later.)
