gzip: cannot create file if mtime > `2106-02-07T06:28:15`

Bug report

Bug description:

We had a VM where ntp went very wonky and ended up thinking it was the year 2141!
Trying to write a gzip file with the system clock greater than 2106-02-07T06:28:15 results in a struct error because we tried to cram a 64-bit int into a 32 bit field (which won't work).

I wouldn't expect the gzip module to explode in this case, I'd expect it to set the MTIME to 0.
RFC 1952 (if that's at all relevant these days) states

MTIME = 0 means no time stamp is available

MWE

Only tested this on macOS on 3.13.2, but from a cursory glance, the mtime handling hasn't changed in over a decade.

>>> import gzip
>>> gzip.GzipFile("/dev/null", "w", mtime=2**32+1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-3>", line 1, in <module>
    gzip.GzipFile("/dev/null", "w", mtime=2**32+1)

Proposed Patch

I'd naïvely fix it with this patch

Empieza en Lib/gzip.py, en _write_gzip_header, y reproduce el ejemplo proporcionado de GzipFile con un mtime fuera del rango de 32 bits. Revisa los PRs enlazados antes de trabajar, ya que indican que este problema podría estar ya resuelto. Se considera terminado cuando el archivo gzip se crea con MTIME establecido en 0 en lugar de generar struct.error.
