- -------
* added -az option to automatically nullify negative dates returned from
  the system in the archive under creation (filesystem is not modified)
* included the birthtime (HFS FSA) into the negative dates handling
* modified behavior: dar now fails upon unknown option instead of
  warning the option is unknown and thus ignored
* bug fix: dar 2.5.12 and below in 2.5.x branch could not read archive
  generated by dar 2.4.x and below (unless in infinint compilation mode)
  when the old archive included a file which date(s) was returned by the
  system as a negative integer at the time of the backup. Note that if
  dar can now read old archive in that particular case, such date stay
  recorded in the dar archive as very far in the future and not in the
  past, because 2.4.x and below blindly assumed the system would always
  return a positive integer as number of second since 1970. Since 2.5.12
  release, when the system provides a negative date the date is assumed
  as zero (Jan 1970) with user agreement.
* fixed missing throw in tools.cpp (exception condition was not
  reported)
