parsedate: tune the date to epoch conversion

By avoiding an unnecessary error check and the temp use of the tm
struct, the time2epoch conversion function gets a little bit faster.
When repeating test 517, the updated version is perhaps 1% faster (on
one particular build on one particular architecture).

Closes #5985
