Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix parsing offsets after long timezone names

TZ containg a timezone name with >TZNAME_MAX characters currently breaks
musl's timezone parsing. getname() stops after TZNAME_MAX characters.
getoff() will consume no characters (because the next character is not a
digit) and incorrectly return 0. Then, because there are remaining
alphabetic characters, __daylight == 1, and dst_off == -3600.

getname() must consume the entire timezone name, even if it will not fit
in d/__tzname, so when it returns, s points to the offset digits.
---

This was causing a failure in gnulib test-parse-datetime, which tries
to use a timezone of 2000 "X"s followed by "0".
