Adding also-affects of Design because I don't think this is addressed in
the spec.

Let's say, for example, that a user adds locations of London, England
and London, Ohio USA.

What currently gets saved in dconf is: ['America/New_York London',
'Europe/London London'] so a low-code-impact change would be to use the
timezone information in the label iff there are two locations with the
same name.

However, it would probably be more user-friendly for indicator-datetime
to save the human-readable text from libtimezonemap. If you go to add
London in unity-control-center, the pulldown lists "London (England,
United Kingdom)" and "London (Ohio, USA)". So if we can programmatically
extract that parenthetical text, it seems to me that's friendlier.

** Changed in: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu)
