Account for time zone on event registration pages

Overview

There doesn't appear to be a way to account for the time zone on an event registration page.

This is less of an issue for a local event, but is quite a problem for a global online event.

At a minimum I would expect there to be an option to set the time zone for the event and for the time zone to display on the event registration page. (Ideally you'd want the page to show the time in the user's time zone.)

Current behaviour

There is no option to set the time zone for an event. (I presume that the system time zone is used but I'm not sure.)

The time zone isn't displayed on the event registration page.

Proposed behaviour

There is an option to set the time zone when creating an event. This should default to the user's time zone.

The time zone is displayed on the event registration page.

Comments

I became aware of this when trying to register for this event: https://civicrm.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=1553

Probably relates to #441
