local_tzoffset: detect errors from tm_to_time_t
 
When we want to know the local timezone offset at a given
timestamp, we compute it by asking for localtime() at the
given time, and comparing the offset to GMT at that time.
However, there's some juggling between time_t and "struct
tm" which happens, which involves calling our own
tm_to_time_t().

If that function returns an error (e.g., because it only
handles dates up to the year 2099), it returns "-1", which
we treat as a time_t, and is clearly bogus, leading to
bizarre timestamps (that seem to always adjust the time back
to (time_t)(uint32_t)-1, in the year 2106).

It's not a good idea for local_tzoffset() to simply die
here; it would make it hard to run "git log" on a repository
with funny timestamps. Instead, let's just treat such cases
as "zero offset".
