Comment (by Rarst):
Refreshing what's our options are at this time.
Is the suggested endpoint dead? http://api.wordpress.org/core/ip-to-
zoneinfo/1.0/?callback=abcd `({"errorcode":5,"errormessage":"GeoNames API
could not be contacted"})`
Looked at `Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone` and browser
support looks good by now (except IE), but there are reports that returned
value is incorrect/inconsistent between browsers. Also the value might not
at all be consistent with ''PHP'' time zone, which we need. I suppose we
could do a very low hanging fruit implementation when suggestion is made
if JS time zone matches exactly one of PHP time zones. Anything more
comprehensive would require us to maintain complex multi-browsing mapping
from possible JS values to PHP ones.
