About summer/winter time

In some countries, there are the division between summer and winter time. This artifact may affect the correct operation of the countdown when the difference between the current time and the deadline is very large.

For example, used a timer with a period of one day, for which the deadline set on the winter time. Then for users from New York in the summer this timer will produce an error for 1 hour.

To exclude these cases set ignoreTransferTime to false.
