25.1.50; time-stamp ignores time-stamp-time-zone |

Run emacs -Q and insert this text:
Time-stamp: <>
Then do:
M-: (require 'time-stamp) RET
M-x set-variable RET time-stamp-time-zone RET "UTC" RET
M-x time-stamp
Expected result: A UTC time stamp is inserted.
Actual result: A time stamp in the local time zone is inserted.
My analysis:
time-stamp uses time-stamp-string to compute the string to insert.
And that calls:
(format-time-string (time-stamp-string-preprocess ts-format)
nil time-stamp-time-zone)
However, time-stamp-string-preprocess does all the work,
leaving nothing for format-time-string to do.
And it does so without consulting time-stamp-time-zone.
Admittedly, the doc string for time-stamp (no longer?) mentions
time-stamp-time-zone.
However, the variable does exist, and its doc string indicates that it will be
used by time-stamp.

This is due to af32fa956. Paul, could you have a look please?
Thanks for reporting this. I fixed the bug by installing the attached
patch to emacs-25.
By the way, the value "UTC" is not portable to non-GNU systems, and
POSIX says that in theory it could cause Emacs to crash. The value
should be "UTC0" or (in Emacs 25) t. I see that some of Emacs's own
source files have this issue, and plan to look into that.
