tzcode: Limit TZ for setugid programs
The zoneinfo parser can be told to read any file the program can access
by setting TZ to either an absolute path, or a path relative to the
zoneinfo directory. For setugid programs, we previously had a hack from
OpenBSD which rejects values of TZ deemed unsafe, but that was rather
arbitrary (anything containing a dot, for instance). Leverage openat()
with AT_RESOLVE_BENEATH instead.
For simplicity, move the TZ change detection code to after we've opened
the file, and stat the file descriptor rather than the name.
