[set localtime]: Set /etc/localtime by either copying or symlinking

Starting in version 2016a-1 (circa Jan 2016) the package tzdata
changed /etc/timezone into a symlink. This change is in unstable,
testing, and will be in the next release (stretch). This commit checks
the release, and creates a task to either copy the contents of the
zoneinfo file (jessie and older) or create a symbolic link (newer than
jessie).
