Allow anonymous users to use a SESSION variable to set timezone

Description of the need

In Timezone Detect, I'd like to allow the timezone to be detected and set in a SESSION variable for anonymous users, so website dates/times display in the timezone they are in. However, as noted here, we'd need some core changes to allow us to use the SESSION variable for anonymous timezones.

Is there a way we can update backdrop_get_user_timezone() to allow this?

I have had a read of what Lando provides, and it's an excellent development tool, and it would solve the problem. But, I would prefer to find out why the problem is there in the first...

I use Lando (a wrapper for docker) and find settings changes happen straight away
