More strick checks when setting timezone

Created by: SunilMohanAdapa

Currently, if someone gains access to plinth daemon, they can send a bad value when setting timezone. This value can contain '..' in the path leading to unexpected results. Make sure that these cases are properly checked for before attempting to set timezone in actions/timezone-change.

@arghyatiger How far have you gotten?

Do you need help setting up a development environment, or help understanding this issue, or something more specific?

@arghyatiger You will need these tools to get started:

• git, to clone the plinth repository.
• vagrant, so you can test without changes to your system.
• virtualbox, which runs the VM for vagrant.
