Add a manual test helper script, foreachzone

This makes it possible, on a system with /usr/{lib,share}/zoneinfo/,
to systematically run a command with TZ set to each system-supported
zone. For example, it can be used to verify that a corelib/time/ test
passes regardless of the valid setting of TZ.

+#!/bin/sh
+# Usage: foreachzone command [args...]
+#
+# The command is run with eval, so can include embedded shell
+# metacharacters such as | and ||. It is run in a sub-shell, so can
+# change environment or cd to a different directory without
+# complicating later runs of the same command.
+#
+# It is run repeatedly, with the TZ environment variable set to each
+# timezone name in turn, excluding the copies of zoneinfo/ under its
+# posix/ and right/ sub-dirs. Symbolic links are included (as long as
+# they point to valid zone data).
+#
+# For example, in the top level of a build tree,
+#   foreachzone ninja tst_qdate_check
+# will run all the QDate tests in every time zone (this may take some
+# time).
