Run regression tests with timezone America/Los_Angeles. Historically we've used timezone "PST8PDT", but the recent release 2024b of tzdb changes the definition of that zone in a way that breaks many test cases concerned with dates before 1970. Although we've not yet adopted 2024b into our own tree, this is already problematic for people using --with-system-tzdata if their platform has already adopted 2024b. To work with both older and newer versions of tzdb, switch to using "America/Los_Angeles", accepting the ensuing changes in regression test results.
