    Warn when gettimeofday is called with non-null tzp argument.
    
    At this stage I don’t think we can issue warnings for settimeofday
    with a non-null tzp argument, nor for arbitrary use of struct
    timezone.  But we can warn about gettimeofday with non-null tzp.
    
    This uses a macro instead of an inline (fortify-style) function
    because I got false positives with an inline, even with GCC 9.
    
    	* time/sys/time.h (__timezone_ptr_t): Delete.
    	(gettimeofday): Always declare second argument with type ‘void *’.
    	When possible, wrap with a macro that detects non-null and
    	non-constant second argument and issues a warning.
    	Improve commentary.
    	(settimeofday): Improve commentary.
    
    	* time/gettimeofday.c (gettimeofday):
    	Declare second argument as type ‘void *’.
