PR lib/60219 -- Fix sysconf(_SC_TZNAME_MAX)

That value is supposed to be the minimum value allowed for
the maximum length of a timezone abbreviation.   It cannot
be something larger than is allowed for that (and NAME_MAX
has nothing to do with it)

It defines the max lengths allowed for the words in
        TZ=Frankenstein-7Monster-6[transition rules]
in old style POSIX TZ variable settings - the POSIX required
minimum value is 6 (so "Frankenstein" would not fit in a minimalist
POSIX implementation).

For now, sync the values between libc/sysctl() and libc/localtime()
via a new _TZNAME_MAXIMUM definition in <time.h> and use that for
both purposes (as a possible default anyway for localtime() - there
the default value used will always be at least 254, and building with
- -DTZNAME_MAXIMUM=N can override that value with anything larger than
_TZNAME_MAXIMUM if desired).

While here fix as many instances of the "max number of types" (which
should be "max number of bytes") string in related contexts that I could
find - there might perhaps be more.
