Allow the Unix epoch to be a valid commit date
It is common practice to use the Unix epoch as a fallback date when a suitable date is not available. This is true of git svn and possibly other importing tools that import non-git history into git. Instead of clobbering established strtoul() error reporting semantics with our own, preserve the strtoul() error value of ULONG_MAX for fsck.c to handle.
