tzname: document some limitations

Unfortunately tzname is a vestigial interface that doesn't work
<https://data.iana.org/time-zones/theory.html#vestigial>.
It's relatively useless in portable code and is planned to be removed
from POSIX <https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1816>.
Document this better here.
