libstdc++: Make std::chrono::current_zone() default to UTC
This is consistent with the behaviour of glibc, which assumes UTC when /etc/localtime and TZ do not identify a valid time zone. The fallback tzdb used when no valid tzdata exists always contains the UTC zone, so this change means we have a valid tzdb and valid current zone even in the degenerate case. With this default we no longer need the AIX-specific kluge to try and identify TZ values specifying a 0-offset zone. We can just use the UTC default for those, as it has the same effect. It's still possible for chrono::current_zone() to fail, because the user could have provided a custom tzdata.zi file which doesn't contain the UTC time zone, so the "UTC" default would fail to find a valid zone, and throw an exception. That's just user error, they should not provide bad data and expect reasonable behaviour. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * src/c++20/tzdb.cc (chrono::tzdb::current_zone()) Use "UTC" if current time zone cannot be determined. * testsuite/std/time/tzdb/1.cc: Remove conditions based on HAVE_TZDB macro and test all members unconditionally.
