Issue #8013: time.asctime and time.ctime no longer call system asctime
and ctime functions. The year range for time.asctime is now 1900
through maxint. The range for time.ctime is the same as for
time.localtime. The string produced by these functions is longer than
24 characters when year is greater than 9999.
