timedated: gather timezone from /etc/localtime sym target
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/...
or
/etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/...
(note, ../usr is not the same if /etc is a symlink, as this isn't
using canonicalize_file_name())
keep other method for now, consider dropping later.
Supporting relative links here are problematic as timezones in
/usr/share/zoneinfo are often themselves symlinks (and symlinks to
symlinks), so this implamentation only supports absolute symlinks
"/usr/share/zoneinfo/" and relative symlinks starting with
"../usr/share/zoneinfo/"
>From TODO (kay sievers):
* kill /etc/timezone handling entirely? What does it provide?
- /etc/localtime carries the same information already:
$ ls -l /etc/localtime; cat /etc/timezone
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 27 09:55 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
Europe/Berlin
- systemd enforces /usr to be available at bootup, so we can
enforce the use of the symlink
