Description
#3420 removes tzdata sync calls from xplat DateTime interface due to 10X performance penalty and other concerns mentioned in the same PR. Please read the discussion made under https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/pull/3420 ( Thanks to @MSLaguana @dilijev for their valuable contributions there)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Read PR #3420 and its discussion first, then trace the xplat DateTime interface and the tzdata sync calls removed there. Done means ChakraCore reflects a system timezone change in its date/time behavior without reintroducing the concerns documented in that discussion.
