// TimeZoneMonitor watches the system time zone, and notifies renderers
// when it changes. Some renderer code caches the system time zone, so
// this notification is necessary to inform such code that cached
// timezone data may have become invalid. Due to sandboxing, it is not
// possible for renderer processes to monitor for system time zone
// changes themselves, so this must happen in the browser process.
//
// Sandboxing also may prevent renderer processes from reading the time
// zone when it does change, so platforms may have to deal with this in
// platform-specific ways:
// - Mac uses a sandbox hole defined in content/renderer/renderer.sb.
// - Linux-based platforms use ProxyLocaltimeCallToBrowser in
// content/zygote/zygote_main_linux.cc and HandleLocaltime in
// content/browser/renderer_host/sandbox_ipc_linux.cc to override
// localtime in renderer processes with custom code that calls
// localtime in the browser process via Chrome IPC.
