 `gmt_offset` is actually a bit of a strange setting; it can either be set
 (the manual timezone offsets in the timezone dropdown), or derived from
 the actual timezone. Likely, the settings endpoint should expose the raw
 value (either unset or the manual timezone offset), and the site info can
 expose the derived value (which will always have a value).
