banned.h: mark non-reentrant gmtime, etc as banned

The traditional gmtime(), localtime(), ctime(), and asctime() functions
return pointers to shared storage. This means they're not thread-safe,
and they also run the risk of somebody holding onto the result across
multiple calls (where each call invalidates the previous result).

All callers should be using their reentrant counterparts.
