musl: read the timezone from /etc/TZ

Currently the OpenWRT boot scripts write the timezone configuration to
/tmp/TZ, relying on the behaviour of uClibc that the timezone is read
from /etc/TZ if no TZ env variable is found.

This works because /etc/TZ is a symlink to /tmp/TZ.

Musl libc however only reads the timezone from the TZ env variable and
if it doesn't find it or it's empty, it will look for a zoneinfo
file, that doesn't exist.

So in musl builds no timezone is ever set.

This patch fixes the issue by having musl libc behave like uClibc: if no
TZ env variable is found it will try to load it from /etc/TZ.
