/**
* A timezone picker labelled in the reader's language and ordered by offset.
*
* The usual version lists raw IANA identifiers — "Asia/Kolkata" — alphabetically,
* which asks the user to know their own zone's database name and to find it in
* a list of nearly 600. Here each entry pairs the localised long zone name with
* its current offset, and the list is ordered by offset, so a user scans to
* roughly where they are rather than searching for a string.
*
* Offsets are computed for the current moment, so they reflect daylight saving
* as it actually stands today rather than a hardcoded table that is wrong for
* half the year.
