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
