    Revert "gtimezone: Cache timezones based on the identifier they were created by"
    
    This reverts commit 851241f19a3fd9ec693b3dd8f37a84c7f970984a.
    
    That commit avoids a performance regression but introduces a behavior regression:
    changes to /etc/localtime have no effect for the remaining of the application's
    runtime.
    
    With the optimization introduced by the previous commit, we can pass NULL to
    g_time_zone_new() repeatedly with no performance drawback, so we no longer have
    to workaround this case.
