Title:
  cc_timezone fails on Ubuntu Bionic and Xenial minimal

Status in cloud-images:
  Invalid
Status in cloud-init:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Summary
  ===
  On Ubuntu Bionic and Xenial minimal images, there is no tzdata package. As a result, when cloud-init tries to set the timezone it will fail and produce a stack trace.

  Expected Result
  ===
  No trace and no failure of the cloud-config.service :)

  Actual result
  ===
  2020-07-20 18:13:22,515 - util.py[DEBUG]: Running module timezone (<module 'cloudinit.config.cc_timezone' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_timezone.py'>) failed
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_timezone.py", line 47, in handle
      cloud.distro.set_timezone(timezone)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/distros/debian.py", line 165, in set_timezone
      distros.set_etc_timezone(tz=tz, tz_file=self._find_tz_file(tz))
  OSError: Invalid timezone America/Vancouver, no file found at /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver

  Steps to reproduce
  ===
  $ wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/minimal/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img
  $ multipass launch file:///$(pwd)/ubuntu-18.04-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img --name=bionic-minimal
  $ multipass exec bionic-minimal -- sudo systemctl list-units --failed --no-legend
  # note that cloud-config.service fails
  $ multipass exec bionic-minimal -- sudo cat /var/log/cloud-init.log | grep timezone
