remove(or deprecate) 'timezone' item in 'inventory.ini' #1106

Description

@bb7133

The 'timezone' item in the current configuration file can be used to determine systemTZ and system_time_zone at the first bootstrap stage(eg. start from zero) of a TiDB cluster. However, after the first bootstrap, those two variables become read-only and never change for a cluster, more detailed information can be referenced as follows:

So, end-users may try to change 'timezone' for an existing TiDB cluster, for example, when doing a rolling-upgrade operation, but found nothing changes: 'timezone' can be confusing and misleading.

For the reason above it's better to remove 'timezone' in TiDB-Ansible, which lead the end-users to the configurations with explicit semantic, like the 'time_zone' system parameter in TiDB.
