TimeWithZone should not accept unrecognized time zones

Reported by Marc-André Lafortune | March 14th, 2011 @ 02:53 PM

Currently, the following doesn't raise any error:

t = Time.now.in_time_zone("There is no such timezone"); t.utc

Many other methods of TimeWithZone will raise a NoMethodError as soon as they try to access the timezone (e.g. t.inspect).

It should not be possible to create a TimeWithZone with an invalid timezone.
