Temporal-based date and time utilities with timezone support and polyfill integration

/**
 * Return the symmetric difference of two UTC intervals — time covered by exactly one interval.
 *
 * - Uses `Temporal.Instant.compare` for comparison.
 * - Returns `[]` when intervals are identical or both invalid.
 * - Returns `[{ start, end }]` when one interval fully contains the other.
 * - Returns `[{ start, end }, { start, end }]` when intervals partially overlap.
 * - Returns `[]` if either interval is invalid (`start > end`).
 * - Returns `[]` on invalid input (wrong type, malformed strings, leap seconds).
 *
 * @param aStart ISO 8601 UTC datetime string for the first interval start
 * @param aEnd ISO 8601 UTC datetime string for the first interval end
 * @param bStart ISO 8601 UTC datetime string for the second interval start
 * @param bEnd ISO 8601 UTC datetime string for the second interval end
 * @returns array of `{ start, end }` records representing the symmetric difference, or `[]` on invalid input
 *
