fix #52986

(cherry picked from commit 4045e7b)

`%M` is the format specifier for the minutes, not the month (which
should be `%m`), and it was used twice.

Also, on macOS `Libc.strptime` internally calls `mktime` which depends
on the local timezone. We now temporarily set `TZ=UTC` to avoid
depending on the local timezone.

Fix #55827.

(cherry picked from commit fc9f147)

This change protects `@assert` from invalidations to `Base.string(...)`
by adding an `invokelatest` barrier.

A common source of invalidations right now is `print(io,
join(args...))`. The problem is:
1. Inference concludes that `join(::Any...)` returns
`Union{String,AnnotatedString}`
2. The `print` call is union-split to `String` and `AnnotatedString`
3. This code is now invalidated when StyledStrings defines `print(io,
::AnnotatedString)`

The invalidation chain for `@assert` is similar: ` @Assert 1 == 1` calls
into `string(::Expr)` which calls into `print(io, join(args::Any...))`.
Unfortunately that leads to the invalidation of almost all `@assert`s
without an explicit error message

Similar to

…55783)

This version would be better as per this comment:
<#55739 (review)>
I confirmed this still allows us to avoid invalidations reported at
#55583.

(cherry picked from commit f808606)

#55453 is stuck on StyledStrings
and Base documentation being entangled and there isn't a good way to
have the documentation of Base types / methods live in an stdlib. This
is a stop gap solution to finally be able to move forwards with 1.11.
