Subject: [PATCH] Handle timezone updates on Ubuntu 16.04+ on containers
 (#27546)

* Handle timezone updates on Ubuntu 16.04+ on containers

Although Ubuntu 16.04 will use timedatectl by default,
containers without a working timedatectl need to use the
old method.

A bug in Ubuntu for the old method means having to write
a nasty hack

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1554806

* Add tests for timezones

Ensure timezone changes work across various OSs
