    Fix: initialize default data directories after auto-creating sub-dirs

    When a file library's "Access to Sub-directories" option was enabled, any auto-created directories would have their data dir initialized as "blank" (empty), so their data files (e.g. <code>.dat, <code>.ixb) would be created in the ctrl directory.

    I guess nobody used this feature? It is pretty cool, but not really documented. If you were using it before this commit, you'll need to move your sub-directories data files to data/dirs or re-add the files (recreate the database files). And you can remove the old cruft from the ctrl dir.

    Coincidentally, a few weeks ago I found that option and could not find
    any documentation for it.

    When you have some free time, can you add some documentation please?

    Thank you!

    Log Message:
    sys_timezone() no longer modifies the scfg_t.sys_timezone member itself

    ... just the returned copy (when toggling the DST flag).

    This resolve the issue of SCFG->System menu detecting changes by the sysop
    (and prompting to Save Changes when exiting) when no changes were actually made, just that DST had been auto-enabled/disabled based on the date.

    Log Message:
    Update to previous commit (which didn't fix reported issue)

    The trailing slash on the sub-directory name was still part of the string
    being compared (e.g. to internal codes), so that wasn't going to fix it.
    Kind of refactored this since it was removing and re-adding and then removing the trailing the slash again. And we didn't need to write the dir.code here since that's written in the loop that follows.

    This should fix the issue that finglonger reported on IRC.
