When timezone support for QDateTime was added, we decided it was a good
idea to delay creating the QTimeZone object and checking that the time
is valid in that timezone (including for local time) until the user
requested that information. Unfortunately, QExplicitlySharedDataPointer
returns a non-const T* in operator->(), which meant we were accidentally
modifying the d pointer's contents in const methods, which in turn means
those const methods were not thread-safe when operating on the same
object.
This commit changes the d pointer to QSharedDataPointer, which is safer
in this regard and pointed out where the issues with constness were
located. Since we can't lazily calculate QTimeZone anymore, we need to
do it whenever the date, time or offset changes.
