parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversionjc/epochtime-wo-tz
The function parses the input to compute the broken-down time in "struct tm", and the GMT timezone offset. If the timezone offset does not exist in the input, the broken-down time is turned into the number of seconds since epoch both in the current timezone and in GMT and the offset is computed as their difference. However, we forgot to make sure tm.tm_isdst is set to -1 (i.e. let the system figure out if DST is in effect in the current timezone when turning the broken-down time to the number of seconds since epoch); it is done so at the beginning of the function, but a call to match_digit() in the function can lead to a call to gmtime_r() to clobber the field.
