call tzset() for sftp-server and before chroot in sshd

The difference between "ls -ltr" and "ls -ltr FILENAME" is that the
first uses the longname from the server and the second synthesises the
line on the client. 

uid->name and link counts aren't supported by our dialect of the sftp
protocol. They are only listed in the "longname" element in the sftp
dirent struct, so they are expected to be wrong in the
locally-generated version.

The time shouldn't be wrong though - the server generates the
longname's time using localtime() and strftime(). Perhaps it needs a
tzset() first? Someone has reported a similar problem a while ago on
for chrooted sftp and IIRC a similar patch to this helped.
