Michael Kerrisk 546f67f3cd ctime.3: ctime_r() and localtime_r() need not set 'timezone' and 'daylight' 
The man page already noted that these functions need not set
'tzname', but things could be clearer: it tzset() is not called,
then the other two variables also are not set.

Also, clarify that ctime() does set 'timezone' and 'daylight'.

Michael Kerrisk 009df872f7 Format casts so that there is a non-breaking space after the 
type, and remove unnecessary parentheses around the casted value.
Thus, for example, the following:

     .IR "(size_t) (\-1)" .

becomes:
    .IR "(size_t)\ \-1" .
