Support TZ transition times < 00:00:00.
This is needed for version-3 tz-format files; it supports time stamps past 2037 for America/Godthab (the only entry in the tz database for which this change is relevant). * manual/time.texi (TZ Variable): Document transition times from -167:59:59 through -00:00:01. * time/tzset.c (tz_rule): Time of day is now signed. (__tzset_parse_tz): Parse negative time of day.
