"Inverted" time_t value handling.

So far time_t values were interpreted as local time values. However, usually time_t values are to be interpreted as "seconds since 1 Jan 1970 in UTC". Therefore all logic handling time_t values has to be changed.

- So far gmtime() called localtime() with an adjusted time_t, now localtime() calls gmtime() with an adjusted time_t.
- mktime() has to do "the opposite" of localtime(), to keep it that way mktime() does now the inverse adjustment made by localtime().
- All currently present time() implementations internally call mktime() so they don't require individual adjustments.
