POSIX says about the TZ variable:

musl seems to interpret `TZ=EST5EDT` as having DST always in effect,
causing the tests that rely on the glibc behavior (of defaulting to
America/New_York transition rules) to fail.

It's not just glibc; musl is the oddball here. But since this change
will (or should) work with all systems that use tzdata, it should not
have any impact on other systems.
