The tz function is only called if ENV_TZ starts with a slash.
If the specified file cannot be read, the code implies that ENV_TZ
would be returned if it does not start with a slash.
Since we know that it DOES start with a slash, the code can be
simplified to state that "TZ=CST6CDT" is returned as a default if
the specified file cannot be read.
Benefit of this change is that strcpy's use case here can be
easier verified.
