Added timezone support (step 1)

Hamza’s work on #601 has been waiting because we found more urgent things to do, but I now would like to advance with this because (1) it is disturbing to us and (2) I hope that more new developers will join the Lino Team soon.

So I now looked again at Hamza’s commit and my observations (Saturday, November 14, 2015) and integrated them.

TODO: The simple_value combobox for the timezone field does not behave correctly.

Release on The Lino framework

No serious problems, but

• starting a session still gives the wrong time. That’s probably because I use some lino_xl.lib.cal.mixins.StartedEnded

• The hack for Ctrl-S in comboboxes seems to fail again. Did it work before? Maybe never on the production site? Maybe it is when DEBUG is False because then the minimized ext-all.js is being used where the class names are scrambled?

Old syntax:

Lino.Viewport = Ext.extend(Ext.Viewport, Lino.MainPanel);
Lino.Viewport = Ext.extend(Lino.Viewport, {
  layout : "fit"
  ,is_home_page : true
  ,initComponent : function(){
    Lino.Viewport.superclass.initComponent.call(this);
    ...
  }
  ,refresh : function() {
    ...
  }
});

New syntax:

Ext.define('Lino.Viewport',
  mixins: [Ext.Viewport, Lino.MainPanel]
  ,layout : "fit"
  ,is_home_page : true
  ,initComponent : function(){
    this.callParent();
    ...
  }
  ,refresh : function() {
    ...
  }
});
