Run regression tests with timezone America/Los_Angeles.
Historically we've used timezone "PST8PDT", but the recent release
2024b of tzdb changes the definition of that zone in a way that
breaks many test cases concerned with dates before 1970. Although
we've not yet adopted 2024b into our own tree, this is already
problematic for people using --with-system-tzdata if their platform
has already adopted 2024b. To work with both older and newer
versions of tzdb, switch to using "America/Los_Angeles", accepting
the ensuing changes in regression test results.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Per report and patch from Wolfgang Walther.
