Description
On my system, I receive failures in the test suite related to the setting of TIME_ZONE, e.g., `test_incorrect_timezone`. The root issue is that Django validates `TIME_ZONE` against a hardcoded "/usr/share/zoneinfo" path which does not exist on my system.
Thankfully, Python has standard library support for validating timezones via the `zoneinfo` module. This module was introduced in Python 3.9, meaning all modern Django versions should support it's use.
I've attached the patch that fixes my test failures. I can submit a PR if this ticket is accepted.
