Sebastián Zavala Villagómez 1c5727cdf7 nixos/localtimed: set time.timeZone to null to avoid silent overriding
Currently if a timezone was selected explicitly, the service will
silently override the value, essentially ignoring what is meant to be a
a deliberate choice of option. This may cause confusion as to why the
option is not doing anything when this service is enabled, particularly
in more complex set-ups after some time.

This will simply make the choice deliberate from the user's part, either
by having to remove the option or lowering its priority as a recognition
that it may be ignored.

This change was inspired by the `services.tzupdate` module, which does
the same.
