Port angle-bracket TZ settings to MS-Windows

* doc/lispref/os.texi (Time Zone Rules): Document MS-Windows
lack of support for numeric time zone abbreviations.
* src/w32.c (sys_putenv): Convert angle-bracket TZ syntax
to MS-compatible syntax if possible, and to "ZZZ" otherwise.
Problem reported by Kazuhiro Ito (Bug#23600).
