bpo-34373: Fix time.mktime() on AIX (GH-12726)

Fix time.mktime() error handling on AIX for year before 1970.

Other changes:

* mktime(): rename variable 'buf' to 'tm'.
* _PyTime_localtime():

  * Use "localtime" rather than "ctime" in the error message
    (specific to AIX).
  * Always initialize errno to 0 just in case if localtime_r()
    doesn't set errno on error.
  * On AIX, avoid abs() which is limited to int type.
  * EINVAL constant is now always available.
