Timezone offset not formatted correctly in .ics file

When I download a .ics file and then re-upload it into the validator at https://icalendar.org/validator.html it gives errors. It looks like these are because there are fields like "TZOFFSETFROM:-600" which should be "TZOFFSETFROM:-0600".

I have a patch I will attach below.

    Thank you for the patch. It fixed my issue importing into Outlook for Mac.

    If you want to replicate the problem, use the module without this patch and try to import into Outlook for Mac. You'll see an error. Apply this patch, make a change to the node, save and repeat. No error.

    If you don't have Outlook for Mac, you run a file generated by this module through the ICS validator:

    https://icalendar.org/validator.html

    You'll see errors like "Invalid TZOFFSETFROM".

    Apply the patch, make a change to the node, save, download the file again and run it through the validator. You won't see that error anymore.
