Public bug reported:

Currently, if I search timezones for Boston, and select Boston in the
results, the Time & Date page will display "America/New York" as the
timezone.  Which is not super user friendly.

It gets worse once we land translation support for geonames [1].  The
user might pick 波士顿 and we'll still show "America/New York", which they
might not even be able to read.

On the desktop, we save the city name the user picks alongside the ISO
timezone name.  Maybe even in the same field?  I don't remember how we
do it.  But we should just do that.
