[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#829366: doesn't allow for creation of keys with 90-year expiry

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.11-7
Severity: normal

Creating a key that expires in 89 years correctly sets an expiry of 2105, but
attempting to set an expiry of 90 years or greater results in an expirty date
that wraps around to 1970.

Curiously, the time on such wrapped-around expiries is always 13:09:41.
