Display confirmation dialog before changing user timezone

Problem/Motivation

In a case where simply some of our users want to set their timezone differently, or in a case when timezone has been detected erroneously, we'd like to show a confirmation dialog to make sure users want to update their timezone before changing it in the background.

Proposed resolution

Before changing the timezone, ask the user if they really want to change it with a confirmation dialog, and if they answer "No" set a cookie to ignore the timezone detection for 3 months

Remaining tasks

* Add configurability - Allow admins to set if they want confirmation shown, allow admins to customize the duration of the cookie, allow admins to customize the displayed text
* Add tests

User interface changes

A drupal ajax dialog is shown before updating the timezone. The timezone is only updated if the user answers "Yes" to the dialog.
