Since there isn't a single libc API to get this value, this patch
supplies one which gets the value by grabbing current UTC, then
converting that into a struct tm with localtime_r(), then back to a
time_t using mktime; it again does the same operation, but using
gmtime_r() instead (for UTC). It then subtracts utc time from the
localtime, and finally adjusts if daylight savings time (DST) is set
in the localtime timeinfo (because for some reason mktime doesn't take
that into account).
The returned value is the difference between UTC and localtime in
seconds. If localtime is ahead of UTC (east) the offset will be a
positive number, and if localtime is behind UTC (west) the offset will
be negative.
This function should be POSIX-compliant, and is threadsafe, but not
async signal safe. If it was ever necessary to know this value in a
child process, we could cache it with a one-time init function when
libvirtd starts, then just supply the cached value, but that
complexity isn't needed for current usage.
Note that it is theoretically possible to set a DST offset that is not
exactly one hour. This function doesn't handle that (is that actually
in use anywhere?)
(If it weren't for DST, we could simply replace this entire function
with "-timezone"; timezone contains the offset of the current timezone
(negated from what we want) but doesn't account for DST. And in spite
of being guaranteed by POSIX, it isn't available on older versions of
mingw.)
---
Change from V2:
* added test cases that force DST to be active so that the "tm_isdst"
logic can be properly tested.
* addressed Eric's review points.
Note that I tried out using the global "timezone", but it doesn't
adjust for DST, so I decided to keep a single implementation of the
function.
