Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Here's a branch that provides a static pref for timezone spoofing. I also
 tried to implement an alternative "live" pref, but the problem is rather
 complex and I don't want to delay further. I figure it's good to have a
 working patch now and we can revisit it during uplift.

 There are two patches (pref implemented, and pref set):

 Here's a patch that removes the functionality from torbutton:
