description:
Update the description of the -t option to bring it in sync with IEEE 1003.1 -2008.

The .SS field of the datetime argument of -t option can have range from 0 to 60
as per the 1003.1 2008 standard. POSIX has removed all mentions of double leap
seconds, therefore the allowed range of seconds is now [0,60].

Also, add an ENVIRONMENT section, as the interpretation of the datetime
argument in -t option depends on the TZ environment variable.

Add an xref for parsedate(3) in SEE ALSO.
