Return UTC timestamps for the date/time of daylight saving time events (beginning and ending).  These timestamps
will be compared to current UTC time.  A dst timestamp is the date/time in seconds UTC for the timezone at the
hour of the dst event.

For dst rules that specify local event times, the timestamp is the sum of:
	timestamp = current year + dst_month + dst_day + dst_time (all in seconds) local time
Adjust local time to UTC by subtracting utc_offset:
	timestamp = timestamp - utc_offset (in seconds)
For dst_end timestamp, subtract an hour for DST
	timestamp = timestamp - 3600 (in seconds)

For dst rules that specify utc event time the process is the same except that utc offset is not subtracted.

This template takes several parameters; none are required:
	1. the time zone abbreviation (positional, always the first unnamed parameter)
	2. a date format flag; second positional parameter or |df=; can have one of several assigned values:
		y – display output time in dmy format
		dmy – same as 'y'
		mdy – default; included for completeness
		iso – display output time in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm format
	3. |dst= when set to 'no' disables dst calculations for locations that do not observe dst – Arizona in MST
	4. |_TEST_TIME_= a specific utc time in ISO date time format used for testing this code
