Bug Description
[Impact]
* Lubuntu currently uses ipapi.co for GeoIP services.
* ipapi.co is not controlled by us, and could become obsolete in the future.
* Canonical already provides this service, so we should move to use this instead.
[Test Case]
1. With a Lubuntu 20.04 LTS daily ISO, install the package from focal-proposed.
2. Ensure that your current timezone is correctly identified and selected.
[Regression Potential]
* Any underlying regressions to the XML library could affect this change.
* If Canonical's GeoIP service goes down, the default location is New York. This provides a clear fallback.
* Edge cases with Canonical's GeoIP service might occur, but should be addressed with the service itself and not our settings.

The change is fine, but before I accept it just a quick question: in the groovy upload of this change the geoip service was changed also for ubuntustudio. Does this mean studio do not want this change in focal? Just asking as to avoid a double-upload for no reason.
