Statically link timezone data to builds to fix a customer issue where their timezone was not recognized (because the distroless image I'm using for my container only had a minimal set of timezone data)

Prepare for first ever enterprise sales call that I booked from a cold email (not through any kind of referral) for 5 AM today 🤞

Here goes nothing!
