[PATCH 3/6] rtc-lib: Check tm_wday for validity in rtc_valid_tm()

RTC drivers rely on rtc_valid_tm() in order to make sure that no bogus
values from uninitialized HW registers get passed to the uppper layers.

A somewhat contrived way to reproduce this problem with DS1307 RTC
would be to do the following:

> rtc_write -b <bus> -a <addr> -r 3 0x00
> hwclock
