  java.util.SimpleTimeZone constructors, setStartRule and setEndRule methods
works wrong when invalid values of month, day, day of a week and time fields
are passed to them. They don't throw IllegalArgumentException for such
parameters.

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

public class IllegalRuleTest {

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

    try {
      tz.setStartRule(Integer.MIN_VALUE, 1, 1, 0);

      System.out.println("Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown");
    } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
      System.out.println("Passed");
    }
  }
}

---------The test output--------
> java IllegalRuleTest
Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown
