Remove RSS timezone hack

This removes the temporary hack introduced by commit a30be12 ("Properly handle timezones when building RSS feeds"). As this triggers (I guess due to having items for 2025) Extension error (nxt): Handler <function nxt_write_rss at 0x7febf3143a60> for event 'build-finished' threw an exception (exception: 'title') make: *** [Makefile:24: site] Error 2 Cc: Dan Callahan <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Clayton <[email protected]>

-        #
-        #    1. Starting with a timezone-naive datetime
-        #    2. Marking it as being in the Europe/London timezone
-        #    3. Shifting it into UTC
-        #    4. Stripping the timezone info, so it is again timezone-naive
-        #
-        # The last step produces RFC 2822 timestamps with the "-0000" offset,
-        # instead of timezone-aware UTC "+0000" offset.
