When comparing timezones on my Mac and GitHub Actions runners, I found that localtime was found in the timezone list for the runners, while not on my Mac. This is caused by the link (https://linuxman7.com/linux/man-pages/man5/localtime.5.html) that some systems make to the local timezone for easy lookup.

I've removed it from the list, similar to how posixrules is removed.

Note that Factory also exists but is in both lists so I didn't remove it.

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Hmm.. I don't love having to manually maintain a list of exceptions here, but this definitely fits with the approach we laid out in the documentation, and I don't foresee there being a ton of these kinds of things.
