#36129: Post dates with invalid ISO8601 timezone offsets are returned from the HTTP
API

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The HTTP API occasionally returns posts with an invalid ISO8601 timezone
 offset, for example: 2007-07-13T08:08:00+328972:08. Most date libraries
 fail to parse this as a valid ISO8601 string.

 Here is an example API request returning an invalid date value: https
 ://public-
 api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/cdavies.wordpress.com/posts/792

 Here is the corresponding post in the web UI (the date is rendered
 correctly): https://cdavies.wordpress.com/2007/07/13/friday-food-fables-3/

 The example site is not mine so I'm unsure how the posts were created.
 Ideally it shouldn't be possible to store a post with an invalid date or
 return an invalid date from the API.
