[date] Refactor TimezoneCache to be separate from the OS
This refactoring is preparatory work to enable ICU to be the backend for timezone information rather than system calls. In the process, a bit of code duplication that was inserted in the Solaris port patch is eliminated here among modern POSIX backends. One possible performance downside of this patch is that it introduces a virtual method call for operations which were previously not virtual methods. However, a couple factors mitigate this effect: - The DateCache minimizes the need for calls into the TimezoneCache - These calls were already not very high performance, as they included a system call which requires an RPC to get out of the sandbox, and they are surrounded by C++ builtins, which require a JS to C++ transition. - A future transition to ICU, enabled by this refactoring, may improve performance by eliminating the system call.
