Comment:

 (In [21337]) Allow different but equivalent time zone ID's.

 This allows Myth applications to run even if the detected time zone ID
 (name) differs from the one detected on the master backend, but only if
 the zones are actually using identical definitions.  Therefore, using a
 combination of US/Eastern with America/New_York or America/Los_Angeles
 with US/Pacific or Europe/London with Europe/Belfast for the 2 processes
 would work.

 Different time zones--even if the current time is identical in those
 differing time zones--are still not allowed as Myth needs to ensure that
 all local times used by the 2 processes are identical in the past,
 present, and future.  Therefore, using America/New_York with EST5EDT or
 US/Pacific with PST8PDT would not work as those combinations specify zones
 whose times differ in various periods in the past.

 Closes #5872
