Title:
  Find a better handling of /etc/localtime symlink on Ubuntu Core

Status in Snappy:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Core uses a symlink for `/etc/localtime` to
  `/etc/writable/localtime`. But systemd's timesyncd does not like that.
  For Ubuntu Core it has been patched, but fix is fragile. Since having
  a read-only `/etc` is not uncommon in embedded, there should be value
  in finding a proper solution which could be accepted upstream so we do
  not need to maintain patches for it.
