Description
Currently the OBS exposes time information to the end user in UTC, for example if the track name is changed to current time or when waiting for GPS Fix. This is often confusing and needs additional explanation. If we know the user timezone we can display the data in a form that is directly clear. The timezone can be picked from the browser setting during configuration as default. We can also use local timezone as default. Format must be short - to preserve ESP memory.
Note: Technical, internal time format like in the CSV data MUST NOT be changed.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing the OBS configuration flow and the user-visible track-name and GPS-fix time displays; identify where the browser or local timezone can be selected. Done means user-facing times use a short local-time format while the technical CSV time format remains unchanged.
