Closes: #2326.
There are plans to remove /etc/timezone from Debian (Debian bug: #822733). It
has been removed temporarily and that caused failures in FreedomBox. Since we
use systemd-timesyncd and timedatectl, use timedatectl to retrieve the currently
set timezone value. This eliminates the need to read timezone at a lower level.
Tests:
- Getting and setting the timezone works.
- Removing /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime then visiting the Date & Time app
works. After setting the timezone, /etc/localtime file is created as symlink.
