[docs] [issue20281] time.strftime %z format specifier is the same as %Z

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Please see the footnote on the 'time' documentation page.  It sounds like Windows is treating %z as if was %Z.

There should be a reference to that footnote from the %z table entry, so that's a doc bug.  Might also be worth explicitly mentioning this weird Windows behavior.

FYI, you can use the strftime functionality of the datetime module to get cross platform %z support.
