Log Message:
-----------
locale.c: use type-agnostic code for storing tm_zone
On some platforms, struct tm has a tm_zone member, but its type is not
consistent:
- Linux: const char *tm_zone;
- FreeBSD (& probably other BSDs): char *tm_zone;
In order to save/restore tm_zone, we can't just use a "const char *" or
"char *" variable because different parts of this code would always be a
const violation on one platform or the other.
Workaround: Use the tm_zone member of a full struct tm, which has the
right type no matter the platform.
Fixes #21948.
