    tests: Use a different time for testing UNIX timestamps
    
    The test_GDateTime_new_from_unix() test creates a UNIX timestamp
    representing 1990-01-01 00:00:00 in the local timezone, and then turns
    it into a GDateTime using g_date_time_new_from_unix_local(). This should
    succeed regardless of the current local timezone (TZ environment
    variable).
    
    However, it was failing for TZ=America/Lima, and *only* for that
    timezone.
    
    As it turns out, Lima used to have a DST leap at exactly 00:00:00 on the
    1st of January — but this stopped in 1994, which made investigation a
    bit harder. See:
    https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/peru/lima?year=1990.
    
    What was happening is that 1990-01-01 00:00:00 was being converted to
    the timestamp 631170000, but GDateTime was converting that timestamp to
    1990-01-01 01:00:00 when loading it. Both conversions are correct: a DST
    leap creates an equivalence between an hour’s worth of timestamps.
    
    We can somewhat validate this by seeing that timestamp 631169999 maps to
    1989-12-31 23:59:59, and timestamp 631170001 maps to 1990-01-01
    01:00:01.
    
    Fix this by changing the date used by the test to one where no timezone
    was undergoing a DST leap in 1990. This should never change, as all that
    data is now historical.
