leap-seconds: Update to leap-seconds 3960057600 obtained from IERS

IERS is the canonical source of leap-seconds. IANA, NIST and USNO obtain
their leap-second updates from IERS.

This resolves an issue for IPv6-only hosts as IERS is not accessible
via IPv6, requiring IPv6-only host to rely on some other source,
above.

From this point forward we should fetch the file from IERS, the
organization responsible for deciding when to insert leap-seconds.

# ATOMIC TIME
# Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the reference time scale derived
# from The "Temps Atomique International" (TAI) calculated by the Bureau
# International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) using a worldwide network of atomic
# clocks. UTC differs from TAI by an integer number of seconds; it is the basis
# of all activities in the world.
#
# In the following text, the symbol '#' introduces
# a comment, which continues from that symbol until
# the end of the line. A plain comment line has a
# whitespace character following the comment indicator.
# There are also special comment lines defined below.
# A special comment will always have a non-whitespace
# character in column 2.
#
# A blank line should be ignored.
# ASTRONOMICAL TIME (UT1) is the time scale based on the rate of rotation of the earth.
# It is now mainly derived from Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). The various
# irregular fluctuations progressively detected in the rotation rate of the Earth led
# in 1972 to the replacement of UT1 by UTC as the reference time scale.
#
# The following table shows the corrections that must
# be applied to compute International Atomic Time (TAI)
# from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) values that
# are transmitted by almost all time services.
#
# The first column shows an epoch as a number of seconds
# since 1 January 1900, 00:00:00 (1900.0 is also used to
# indicate the same epoch.) Both of these time stamp formats
# ignore the complexities of the time scales that were
# used before the current definition of UTC at the start
# of 1972. (See note 3 below.)
# The second column shows the number of seconds that
# must be added to UTC to compute TAI for any timestamp
# at or after that epoch. The value on each line is
# valid from the indicated initial instant until the
# epoch given on the next one or indefinitely into the
# future if there is no next line.
# (The comment on each line shows the representation of
# the corresponding initial epoch in the usual
# day-month-year format. The epoch always begins at
# 00:00:00 UTC on the indicated day. See Note 5 below.)
# LEAP SECOND
# Atomic clocks are more stable than the rate of the earth's rotation since the latter
# undergoes a full range of geophysical perturbations at various time scales: lunisolar
# and core-mantle torques, atmospheric and oceanic effects, etc.
# Leap seconds are needed to keep the two time scales in agreement, i.e. UT1-UTC smaller
# than 0.9 seconds. Therefore, when necessary a "leap second" is applied to UTC.
# Since the adoption of this system in 1972 it has been necessary to add a number of seconds to UTC,
# firstly due to the initial choice of the value of the second (1/86400 mean solar day of
# the year 1820) and secondly to the general slowing down of the Earth's rotation. It is
# theoretically possible to have a negative leap second (a second removed from UTC), but so far,
# all leap seconds have been positive (a second has been added to UTC). Based on what we know about
# the earth's rotation, it is unlikely that we will ever have a negative leap second.
#
# Important notes:
#
# 1. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is often referred to
# as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The GMT time scale is no
# longer used, and the use of GMT to designate UTC is
# discouraged.
# HISTORY
# The first leap second was added on June 30, 1972. Until the year 2000, it was necessary in average to add a
# leap second at a rate of 1 to 2 years. Since the year 2000 leap seconds are introduced with an
# average interval of 3 to 4 years due to the acceleration of the Earth's rotation speed.
#
# 2. The UTC time scale is realized by many national
# laboratories and timing centers. Each laboratory
# identifies its realization with its name: Thus
# UTC(NIST), UTC(USNO), etc. The differences among
# these different realizations are typically on the
# order of a few nanoseconds (i.e., 0.000 000 00x s)
# and can be ignored for many purposes. These differences
# are tabulated in Circular T, which is published monthly
# by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures
# (BIPM). See www.bipm.org for more information.
#
# 3. The current definition of the relationship between UTC
# and TAI dates from 1 January 1972. A number of different
# time scales were in use before that epoch, and it can be
# quite difficult to compute precise timestamps and time
# intervals in those "prehistoric" days. For more information,
# consult:
# RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DECISION TO INTRODUCE A LEAP SECOND IN UTC
# The decision to introduce a leap second in UTC is the responsibility of the Earth Orientation Center of
# the International Earth Rotation and reference System Service (IERS). This center is located at Paris
# Observatory. According to international agreements, leap seconds should be scheduled only for certain dates:
# first preference is given to the end of December and June, and second preference at the end of March
# and September. Since the introduction of leap seconds in 1972, only dates in June and December were used.

#
# Every national laboratory and timing center uses the
# data from the BIPM and the IERS to construct UTC(lab),
# their local realization of UTC.
#
# Although the definition also includes the possibility
# of dropping seconds ("negative" leap seconds), this has
# never been done and is unlikely to be necessary in the
# foreseeable future.
# VALIDITY OF THE FILE
# It is important to express the validity of the file. These next two dates are
# given in units of seconds since 1900.0.
#
# 5. If your system keeps time as the number of seconds since
# some epoch (e.g., NTP timestamps), then the algorithm for
# assigning a UTC time stamp to an event that happens during a positive
# leap second is not well defined. The official name of that leap
# second is 23:59:60, but there is no way of representing that time
# in these systems.
# Many systems of this type effectively stop the system clock for
# one second during the leap second and use a time that is equivalent
# to 23:59:59 UTC twice. For these systems, the corresponding TAI
# timestamp would be obtained by advancing to the next entry in the
# following table when the time equivalent to 23:59:59 UTC
# is used for the second time. Thus the leap second which
# occurred on 30 June 1972 at 23:59:59 UTC would have TAI
# timestamps computed as follows:
# 1) Last update of the file.
#
# ...
# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785599,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600) TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
# ...
# Updated through IERS Bulletin C (https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat)
#
# If your system realizes the leap second by repeating 00:00:00 UTC twice
# (this is possible but not usual), then the advance to the next entry
# in the table must occur the second time that a time equivalent to
# 00:00:00 UTC is used. Thus, using the same example as above:
# The following line shows the last update of this file in NTP timestamp:
#
# ...
# 30 June 1972 23:59:59 (2287785599): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
# 30 June 1972 23:59:60 (2287785600, first time): TAI= UTC + 10 seconds
# 1 July 1972 00:00:00 (2287785600,second time): TAI= UTC + 11 seconds
# ...
#$ 3929093563
#
# in both cases the use of timestamps based on TAI produces a smooth
# time scale with no discontinuity in the time interval. However,
# although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct in both
# methods, the second method is technically not correct because it adds
# the extra second to the wrong day.
# 2) Expiration date of the file given on a semi-annual basis: last June or last December
#
# This complexity would not be needed for negative leap seconds (if they
# are ever used). The UTC time would skip 23:59:59 and advance from
# 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 in that case. The TAI offset would decrease by
# 1 second at the same instant. This is a much easier situation to deal
# with, since the difficulty of unambiguously representing the epoch
# during the leap second does not arise.
# File expires on 28 June 2025
#
# Some systems implement leap seconds by amortizing the leap second
# over the last few minutes of the day. The frequency of the local
# clock is decreased (or increased) to realize the positive (or
# negative) leap second. This method removes the time step described
# above. Although the long-term behavior of the time scale is correct
# in this case, this method introduces an error during the adjustment
# period both in time and in frequency with respect to the official
# definition of UTC.

# The following line shows this last update date in NTP timestamp
# format. This is the date on which the most recent change to
# the leap second data was added to the file. This line can
# be identified by the unique pair of characters in the first two

#
# The NTP timestamps are in units of seconds since the NTP epoch,
# which is 1 January 1900, 00:00:00. The Modified Julian Day number
# corresponding to the NTP time stamp, X, can be computed as
# DTAI: The difference DTAI= TAI-UTC in units of seconds
# It is the quantity to add to UTC to get the time in TAI
#
# X/86400 + 15020
# Day Month Year : epoch in clear
#
# where the first term converts seconds to days and the second
# term adds the MJD corresponding to the time origin defined above.
# The integer portion of the result is the integer MJD for that
# day, and any remainder is the time of day, expressed as the
# fraction of the day since 0 hours UTC. The conversion from day
# fraction to seconds or to hours, minutes, and seconds may involve
# rounding or truncation, depending on the method used in the
