banned.h: mark non-reentrant gmtime, etc as banned

peff · gitster · commit 1fbfdf556f2a · 2020-12-01T14:37:27.000-08:00
The traditional gmtime(), localtime(), ctime(), and asctime() functions
return pointers to shared storage. This means they're not thread-safe,
and they also run the risk of somebody holding onto the result across
multiple calls (where each call invalidates the previous result).

All callers should be using their reentrant counterparts.
