`time` was both an old API ruby function, and not needed since Puppet 4. In this commit, the `parser` function is removed and replaced by a non-namespaced APIv4 function. This is done to preserve compatibility before the function is removed completely in a later release. The ruby function calls a Puppet language function which implements the existing behaviour using core Puppet functionality. The original function did something weird with an optional `timezone` parameter. Nobody really remembers why. It appears that very early versions of Ruby may have been buggy and needed this as a workaround. To be clear, seconds since the epoch are the same _everywhere_. Timezone is not relevant.
