takes a timezone string, a time, and a is-dst flag.
"tz_local_offset()" determins the offset from GMT time in seconds. It
only does the calculation once.
"tz_offset()" determines the offset from GMT in seconds of a specified
timezone.
"tz_name()" determines the name of the timezone based on its offset
