    Implement the century byte in the RTC emulation, and test that it works.
    This leads to some annoying compatibility code because we need to treat
    a value of 2000 for the base_year property as "use the century byte
    properly" (which would be a value of 0).
    
    The century byte will now be always-zero, rather than always-20,
    for the MIPS Magnum machine whose base_year is 1980.  Commit 42fc73a1
    (Support epoch of 1980 in RTC emulation for MIPS Magnum, 2009-01-24)
    correctly said:
    
        With an epoch of 1980 and a year of 2009, one could argue that [the
        century byte] should hold either 0, 1, 19 or 20.  NT 3.50 on MIPS
        does not read the century byte.
    
    so I picked the simplest and most sensible implementation which is to
    return 0 for 1980-2079, 1 for 2080-2179 and so on.
