[PATCH 15/17] mktime: merge comment-quoting-style change from gnulib


* time/mktime.c: Quote 'like this' in comments.
The GNU coding standards suggest that we no longer quote `like this',
as "`" and "'" are typically rendered asymmetrically nowadays.
The typical gnulib style is to quote 'like this' when quoting
code, and "like this" when quoting English.
