Hi, after upgrading to latest v8 from master (say, v4.10.43) on linux 
(ubuntu 15.10) and os x (10.11.3) changing timezone with 
putennv("TZ=<timezone>") 
(http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/putenv.3.html) new timezone affects 
v8 runtime without calling 
v8::Date::DateTimeConfigurationChangeNotification. I guess it happens after 
"[runtime] Migrate several Date builtins to C++" 
(https://github.com/v8/v8/commit/065e9c536f14b3d7cb4d140c6f74e024e31ee1a2) 
commit.



Here is some meta-code to demonstrate problem:


putenv("TZ=America/New_York");
v8::Date::DateTimeConfigurationChangeNotification();
v8::MaybeLocal<v8::Date> date = v8::Date::New(context, 1445444940000.0).
ToLocalChecked();

date.ToLocalChecked()->ToString(context); // Wed Oct 21 2015 09:29:00 
GMT-0700 (EDT)

putenv("TZ=UTC");
date.ToLocalChecked()->ToString(context); // Wed Oct 21 2015 09:29:00 
GMT-0700 (UTC)



before (apr. that changes I mentioned above) both ToString() returned EDT 
time.

Based on  this, I have few questions:

   1. How now TZ changes handled internally, if any?
   2. What is recommended way to handle TZ changes?
   3. Is using v8::Date::DateTimeConfigurationChangeNotification() still 
   mandatory to notify TZ changes?
