Constrain inputs for lib.timezone settings to valid tzdata names

[Galen Charlton]

Inspired by bug 1752753, it would be nice if the library settings editor presented a list of valid timezone names for the user to choose from when setting the lib.timezone org unit setting.

(This would probably be part of a larger, hypothetical project to make a new Angular library settings editor be smarter and more usable.)

Note: we have the list of available timezones in JS via moment.tz.names(), which returns an array of known, valid timezone names.

[Remington Steed (rjs7)]

I'm adding documentation tags, since we should at least give people a clue of the input format in the setting name or description, and the docs. (I found myself guessing at "EST", or "-5:00"...).

Maybe we could point people to Wikipedia for now:

I've opened a new bug for the documentation aspects of this:

bug 1817332

[Jane Sandberg (sandbergja)]

Noting that you can get an array of supported values in vanilla JS using Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone')

[Jane Sandberg (sandbergja)]

Ugh, but Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone') is not supported in typescript < 5.1. Maybe that approach will have to wait for Angular 17 or so.

Here is a branch: collab/sandbergja/lp1754364-timezone-dropdown

This started in the New Devs Working Group May meeting, and I finished it up.

Here is a link: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/collab/sandbergja/lp1754364-timezone-dropdown

To test:
1. Go to Admin > Local Administration > Library Settings Editor
2. Find the Timezone setting in the list of settings
3. Confirm that the timezone select is a typeahead that autocompletes
any valid timezone

Force-pushed this branch to rebase against today's main.

Works for me! Pushed to main. Thanks Jane and the New Devs Working Group!
