parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversion

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.
