Improve time zone documentation
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Time Zone Rules): New section, mostly with material moved here from other sections. * doc/emacs/cmdargs.texi (General Variables): * doc/lispref/os.texi (Time Conversion, Time Parsing): Xref new section. * etc/NEWS, etc/PROBLEMS: * lisp/org/org.el (org-timestamp-format): * src/editfns.c (Fformat_time_string, Fdecode_time) (Fencode_time, Fcurrent_time_string, Fcurrent_time_zone) (Fset_time_zone_rule): When documenting time zone rule strings, mention the TZ environment variable in preference to mentioning the sort-of-internal function set-time-zone-rule.
