Previously, the code prefixes the chroot path to actual file paths to
simulate the effect. This, however, will not work for tzset(3) which
expects the current system have a working set of timezone data files,
and that is not always the case.
This changeset simplifies the handling of paths and use an actual
chroot(2) call to implement the effect.

- Move the reinstall logic to be before menus are initialised
(menus are not needed when reinstalling a zonefile).
- Remove unnecessary re-initialization of path_db.
- Update variable name and error message because we now use the
zone name relative to /usr/share/zoneinfo, not the full path.

Update verbose output to match what actually happens when selecting
the UTC option, and when the -n option is used.

If the specified zone file does not exist or the -n flag is specified,
do not update /var/db/zoneinfo.

installing zoneinfo. While we're in the vicinity, add some missing
error checking to eliminate an unhelpful error message when unlink()
fails.
/me is embarrassed by the quality of his 16-year-old code.
The whole thing is awful and could stand a complete rewrite.

adjusting the clock to UTC.
That avoids to write on /etc/wall_cmos_clock which is useful in some
cases (example: host user in a jail).

Specifically, change the second level menu title from 'Country' to
'Country or Region', since e.g. Hong Kong is not a country.

We could also make this stuff only come out when getpid() != 1
and thus avoid the install case (where it really is just too verbose,
and people have complained), but this seems less messy and no one
complained when tzsetup didn't print the final "things went fine!"
messages (which sort of contravene the UNIX spirit of only yelling
when you need to anyway).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
