Merge branch 'tz-fixes'

Miscellaneous fixes for time zones and DST handling in wxDateTime.

This still leaves 2 big problems:

1. We have no support for using the correct time zone offset at the
   given date and always use the current time zone offset, which may,
   and often is, wrong.

2. Our code for converting to/from broken down representation doesn't
   handle DST at all, so support for DST is non-existent for the dates
   before 1970-01-01 or after 2038-01-01 (i.e. roughly outside of the
   32 bit time_t range).

See #10445 and the other tickets linked from there.
