Misc #19098

It seems `%z` behaves in some surprising way when it is combined with a width - sign `+` is placed at the beginning of the result string:
```ruby
Time.now.strftime("%10z")
=> "+000000200"
Time.now.strftime("%_10z")
=> " +200"
```
It seems a time zone offset is treated as a number. It probably makes sense with default format but it looks strange with `:` separators:
```ruby
Time.now.strftime("%10::z")
# => "+002:00:00"
```
So I would expect that `%z` directive output to be treated as a non-numerical and pad by default with spaces.
