Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are PRs going back and forth between getting Time Zone information from the registry or from the tzutil cmd line utility.

This PR was merged into 2018.3 on Apr 2019: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/pull/52046
There have been some recent PRs that work on this same section of code:

Describe the solution you'd like
There is a large performance increase to using the registry to obtain the Timezone. Yet there are some cases where the Timezone is not defined in the registry. In those cases we should fall back to tzutil.
