Add test and fix for date_constructor for PHP Versions lower 7.1.0

[rdeutz]

Summary of Changes

Fix for JDate Constructor, integrates the test case from #15642 but with true as 2nd parameter for the format method (default is false and means that we get the time in GMT)

Testing Instructions

Test should be processed with two different PHP Versions one lower 7.1.0 and one 7.1.0 or greater. The results should be the "same" for all versions after the patch is applied.

• Add the follwing PHP code to your template:

echo 'Timezone US/Central: ';
$jdateUS   = new JDate('now', new DateTimeZone('US/Central'));
$phpdateUS = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('US/Central'));
echo $jdateUS->format('D m/d/Y H:i', true) . ' | ' . $phpdateUS->format('D m/d/Y H:i');
echo '<br>';
echo 'Timezone UTC: ';
$jdateUTC   = new JDate('now', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$phpdateUTC = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
echo $jdateUTC->format('D m/d/Y H:i', true) . ' | ' . $phpdateUTC->format('D m/d/Y H:i');
echo '<br>';
echo 'Timezone not set: ';
$jdateNoTZ   = new JDate('now');
$phpdateNoTZ = new DateTime('now');
echo $jdateNoTZ->format('D m/d/Y H:i', true) . ' | ' . $phpdateNoTZ->format('D m/d/Y H:i');

• Change the PHP version

• Access your site again

Test is successful when after appling the patch you get correct results, time in a row must be the same expect the last line.

Results

Keep in mind your results are depending on your timezone and the time you are running the test. For me the 2 hour difference in the "Timezone not set" row is ok because I am on CEST what is GMT+2.

The Error is in the "Timezone US/Central" row for PHP Version lower 7.1.0, in my case 5.6.30.

[rdeutz]

I did remove the version check, seems to me not really important if JDate has microseconds or not
