Test fails in daylight saving time TZs

See original GitHub issue

test_get_timezone_name():

>       assert (dates.get_timezone_name(None, locale='en_US') ==                                      
                dates.get_timezone_name(datetime.now().replace(tzinfo=dates.LOCALTZ), locale='en_US'))

E         ?                   ^^^^^ +

I think this is a LOCALTZ bug (since LOCALTZ is janky at best), but can’t really be sure…

Note: should probably see if this is a regression introduced in 7800e547ed1710b24ee5679994cee6055c9c5698
