Improve setup script with additional user prompts in gathering the timezone during pelican creation about pelican HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Andrew. Some brief thoughts:

• The default value provided [Europe/Rome] helps indicate the expected input.
• The provided link shows the valid values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
• Any additional input options, such as the ones you suggested, would have to be internally translated into the expected Europe/Rome format since that format is used to populate the relevant setting: TIMEZONE = "Europe/Rome"
• Choosing time zone based on postal code would only work if the country is also provided. This seems a bit complicated to me compared to the idea of potentially accepting three-digit codes like PST or CET, but perhaps that's just my perspective.

I wanted to add

• PST is "half" of a time zone, where PDT is the other half
• Abbreviated time zones are not unique. IST could refer to Irish Standard Time, Israel Standard Time or Indian Standard Time. Even PST is not unique and can also refer to Philippine Standard Time.
