Backport !2955 “gtimezone: Reject weird /etc/localtime configurations” to glib-2-74

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/glib:backport-2955-timezone-toolbox-glib-2-74 into glib-2-74

At the moment, glib assumes that if /etc/localtime is a symlink, that it's a symlink to zoneinfo file.

Toolbx containers add an extra layer of indirection though, making it a symlink to a symlink to a zoneinfo file.

This commit deals with the problem, by performing additional checks on /etc/localtime and ignoring it if those check fail, falling back instead to reading /etc/timezone.

Trivial backport of !2955 (merged) to glib-2-74.
