tm(3): Fix types in man page.

tm(3): Fix type of tm_zone again, and describe it as const.

It is `char *', not `char'.  But it's also not supposed to be written
to, as kre@ noted, so just document it as `const' even though it's
technically not declared that way, presumably for expedience of
managing it with malloc/free internally.

correct tm_sec range to be [0-60]

The previous range introduced in time.h rev1.14 was supposed to account
for a mystical "double leap second", which ultimately never could exist
and was a mistaken interpretation from an early ISO C standard whereby
the possibility of two leap seconds within a year was erroneously
interpreted to mean that two leap seconds could occur at once.

Improve as per discussion on source-changes.

Put asctime(3) explicitly to SEE ALSO.

Move some of the discussion from the messy ctime(3) to tm(3).

Add a small summary parge for struct tm from <time.h>. Cf. timeval(3).
