UTC timezone causes PHP Warnings

Problem/Motivation

I'm getting a bunch of PHP warnings relating to the new ViewsIcalHelper->AddTimezone() method. I'm not sure what the purpose of various parts of the code are but the problem is that the code expects there to be more than one item in the $transitions array. I have a fairly vanilla set up using date_recur module and that array only has a single entry.

Proposed resolution

If it is correct to only have one transition sometimes then code like this needs to be wrapped in an isset check

$prevTransition = $transitions[$midpoint-1];
...
$vTimezoneRule->setTzOffsetFrom($this->convertOffset($prevTransition['offset']));

However, if there should always be more than one transition, I guess there is a problem with this bit:

    $secondsInYear = 18410000;
    $transitions = $timezone->getTransitions(
      // Subtract two years (probably only need 18 months, just to be sure we include all of the previous transition, so we can start THIS one at the right time)
      $datetime->getTimestamp() - $secondsInYear - $secondsInYear - $secondsInYear,
      $datetime->getTimestamp() + $secondsInYear) ;

This comment makes me wonder if the problem could be avoided by ditching the binary search and tweaking that second bit of code above?

// binary search was written before realizing that getTransitions() could be passed arguments... Just kept it though.

    On further reflection after having a look at what this actually does and a bit of RTFM, I think the issue is that it is getting foxed by the UTC timezone which has no Daylight Savings Time so it legitimately only has one entry in the transitions array.

    I'm getting same thing on 8.x-1.0-alpha12. Lots of warnings blowing up the logs to hundreds of pages. This site is for AZ, US which has no time zone change throughout the year.

    Attached is a temporary patch against -dev just to suppress the warnings. It'd probably be better to properly handle them, but at least my logs won't keep blowing up for now.

    I took a swing at properly checking values and using some null coalescing operators. Please test and confirm.

    Apply to the "8.x-1.x" branch. not the "-dev" one. Which seems to erroneously be listed as the default dev branch on the module page.
