Description
Problem:
This returns null after cluster creation: SELECT CONVERT_TZ(NOW(), '+00:00', 'UTC');
So usually I would fix it by running this: mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root -p mysql but there is no way to do this in the vitess operator. I think it would have to run after mysql_install_db and before init_db.sql
Goal:
I would like to be able to put default-time-zone='UTC' into my [mysqld] configOverrides, not just default_time_zone = '+00:00'

Research direction
Start by tracing how the operator processes mysqld configOverrides and the initialization sequence around mysql_install_db and init_db.sql. Check how mysql_tzinfo_to_sql could populate the time zone tables before init_db.sql runs, and verify completion with CONVERT_TZ(NOW(), '+00:00', 'UTC') when default-time-zone='UTC' is configured.
