[issue13413] time.daylight incorrect behavior in linux glibc

This is the best we can do because time.daylight is a constant and this does not work in locations like Moscow where daylight rules were adopted ~ 30 years ago and later abandoned.

If you need better timezone support - take a look at datetime.datetime.astimezone() method.
