I used this bug report as a prod and wrote up a warning in datenum.  See https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/bed1d5d6dc5a.

Marking as fixed and closing report.

The datenum doco contains warnings about pre-1582 Julain calendars and leap seconds. If we're warning about that, we should probably warn about issues with DST transition times, which are probably a lot more likely to crop up in practice.

This patch adds a warning about bad datenums near DST transitions.
