On some devices the chip has RTC but no battery save time.
This leads back to getting the wrong time
and skipping the check of the last file modification date.
This commit ensures that the file time is checked even
if the RTC exists.
which would ordinarily return an approbiate
system time used for e.g. certificate generation.

The zoneinfo packages are not installed per default so neither
/tmp/localtime nor /tmp/TZ is generated.
This patch mostly reverts the previous fix and instead incooperates a
solution suggested by Jo.

The system init script currently sets /tmp/localinfo when zoneinfo is
populated. However, zoneinfo has spaces in it whereas the actual files
have _ instead of spaces. This made the if condition never return true.
Example failure when removing the if condition:
/tmp/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los Angeles
This file does not exist. America/Los_Angeles does.

OpenWrt uses a lot of (b)ash scripts for initial setup. This isn't the
best solution as they almost never consider syncing files / data. Still
this is what we have and we need to try living with it.
Without proper syncing OpenWrt can easily get into an inconsistent state
on power cut. It's because:
1. Actual (flash) inode and data writes are not synchronized
2. Data writeback can take up to 30 seconds (dirty_expire_centisecs)
3. ubifs adds extra 5 seconds (dirty_writeback_centisecs) "delay"
Some possible cases (examples) for new files:
1. Power cut during 5 seconds after write() can result in all data loss
2. Power cut happening between 5 and 35 seconds after write() can result
in empty file (inode flushed after 5 seconds, data flush queued)
Above affects e.g. uci-defaults. After executing some migration script
it may get deleted (whited out) without generated data getting actually
written. Power cut will result in missing data and deleted file.
There are three ways of dealing with that:
1. Rewriting all user-space init to proper C with syncs
2. Trying bash hacks (like creating tmp files & moving them)
3. Adding sync and hoping for no power cut during critical section
This change introduces the last solution that is the simplest. It
reduces time during which things may go wrong from ~35 seconds to
probably less than a second. Of course it applies only to IO operations
performed before /etc/init.d/boot . It's probably the stage when the
most new files get created.
All later changes are usually done using smarter C apps (e.g. busybox or
uci) that creates tmp files and uses rename() that is expected to be
atomic.

Per FHS 3.0, /var/lock is the location for lock files [1].
However its current permissions (755) are too restrictive
for use by unprivileged processes.
Debian and Ubuntu set them to 1777, and now so do we.
