Return UTC timestamps for the date/time of daylight saving time events (beginning and ending). These timestamps
will be compared to current UTC time. A dst timestamp is the date/time in seconds UTC for the timezone at the
hour of the dst event.
For dst rules that specify local event times, the timestamp is the sum of:
timestamp = current year + dst_month + dst_day + dst_time (all in seconds) local time
Adjust local time to UTC by subtracting utc_offset:
timestamp = timestamp - utc_offset (in seconds)
For dst_end timestamp, subtract an hour for DST
timestamp = timestamp - 3600 (in seconds)
For dst rules that specify utc event time the process is the same except that utc offset is not subtracted.
