docs: add comprehensive TODO for jiff-native migration

Add detailed documentation explaining that the current chrono-based
timezone parsing fix is a temporary bandaid solution that:

1. Reintroduces chrono dependencies (conflicts with jiff migration)
2. Fixes critical bug #8976 affecting real users
3. Needs proper jiff-native implementation
4. Includes clear migration plan and risk mitigation

This ensures future maintainers understand the trade-offs and
have a clear path forward for the proper implementation.
