Paul Holzinger 34c258b419 libpod: fix timezone handling ...

The current way of bind mounting the host timezone file has problems.
Because /etc/localtime in the image may exist and is a symlink under
/usr/share/zoneinfo it will overwrite the targetfile. That confuses
timezone parses especially java where this approach does not work at
all. So we end up with an link which does not reflect the actual truth.

The better way is to just change the symlink in the image like it is
done on the host. However because not all images ship tzdata we cannot
rely on that either. So now we do both, when tzdata is installed then
use the symlink and if not we keep the current way of copying the host
timezone file in the container to /etc/localtime.

Also note that we need to rebuild the systemd image to include tzdata in
order to test this as our images do not contain the tzdata by default.
