J William Piggott 411dded247 tzset.3: There are only two TZ formats 
tzset(3) currently states that there are three TZ formats. The
first two it lists are actually variations of the POSIX-style
TZ format, of which there are at least five variations.

This patch corrects this to match the POSIX specification of
TZ having only two formats.

J William Piggott a321c9154c tzset.3: Fix incorrect TZ string representation 
The TZ string representation indicates that the start/end
rules are required; this is incorrect.

Updated the TZ string format to the POSIX specification and
improve its readability by having only the optional parts in
italics.
