Stay backwards-compatible by using time.tzname[0] as we did before if no config option is provided, but only if it is a valid timezone (in the pytz sense).
If no config option is set and time.tzname does't work, fallback, in this order, to:
- environment variable 'TZ'
- /etc/timezone on Unix platforms
- Windows registry on win32 systems
- if nothing works, default to UTC (because we MUST provide a valid timezone to clients)
