DateTime Canonicalization should preserve seconds field

Description:

On 2017-11-28, Rich Rollman (AgileDelta) argued in email exchanges (not public)
that "the problem with using the algorithm [2] is that it destroys the
information contained in the dateTime. Taking the test case data as an example
with UTC normalization enabled, the two times 2012-06-30T23:59:60-06:00 and
2012-07-01T00:00:00-06:00 will result in the same digital signature which
should not be the case as these are two different times, the former one second
later than the latter."
