  SimpleTimeZone constructors and setRawOffset method don't throw
IllegalArgumentException when an invalid offset argument is passed
to them: a value that is greater that maximum or less than minimum
value of Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET field.

Here is a test demonstrating the bug.
-------------IllegalZoneOffsetTest.java------------
import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;

public class IllegalZoneOffsetTest {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    SimpleTimeZone tz = new SimpleTimeZone(0, "stz");

    try {
      tz.setRawOffset(Integer.MIN_VALUE);

      System.out.println("Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown");
    } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
      System.out.println("Passed");
    }
  }
}
--------The test output------
> java IllegalZoneOffsetTest
Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown
