Revert of base::Time should correctly handle -epoch time values from Javascript (patchset #1 id:1 of https://codereview.chromium.org/2593073002/ )
Reason for revert:
The patched broke EME player which was relying on null time being converted to 0 in FromJsTime.
After discussing this, we agreed to try to change all conversion methods together to ensure consistency. A precursor to doing this will be to get stop treating zero as null.

Original issue's description:
> Correctly handle -epoch time values when converting from JS time to base::Time
>
> -11644473600 seconds (which represents windows epoch time of
> |1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC|) is a valid time value in Javascript. Incidentally
> this value is internally represented by 0 which is mistakenly confused with a
> null time value.
>
> FromJsTime is meant to be used to convert time values coming from Javascript
> for which 0 or -epoch do not represent null values. So the extra check was
> incorrect.
>
> * In fact there is a comment in FromJsTime method making it clear that 0 is a
> valid value but this was missed in ToJsTime method.
