src: make process.env.TZ setter clear tz cache
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since the presence of the libc and V8 timezone caches seem to be
a perennial source of confusion to users ("why doesn't it work?!"),
let's try to support that pattern by intercepting assignments to
the `TZ` environment variable and reset the caches as a side effect.
