At least in some parts of Europe, the time from 2023-03-26 2:00 to
2023:03-26 2:59 does not exist. It is the hour-forward daylight
transition.
So, when Org is trying to change the data to 2023-03-26 2:05, Emacs date
library refuses and instead sets the closes valid time.
I am not sure would be the best course of action here.
1. We can jump over the invalid hours in the direction requested by user
2. We can throw an error, making the user aware about the daylight
thing.
I am more in favour of (2) because things like this are easy to overlook.
