selftest: Timers: Avoid signal deadlock in leap-a-day



In 0c4a5fc9 (Add leap-second timer edge testing to
leap-a-day.c), we added a timer to the test which checks to make
sure timers near the leapsecond edge behave correctly.

However, the output generated from the timer uses ctime_r, which
isn't async-signal safe, and should that signal land while the
main test is using ctime_r to print its output, its possible for
the test to deadlock on glibc internal locks.

Thus this patch reworks the output to avoid using ctime_r in
the signal handler.
