## What does this PR do? Fixes elastic/beats#36117 on the agent. Add default TZ value to fix synthetic journeys for timezone-triggered errors. ## Why is it important? Unspecified timezone values can cause navigation errors on synthetics journeys. ## How to test this PR locally 1. Build agent docker image locally. 2. Create a journey that navigates to a Kibana URL and enroll agent on the private location policy. 3. Wait for Kibana login page to load properly.

It currently is possible for synthetic monitors to have no timezone set which can result in weird behavior from sites that expect one to always exists as it does on user machines. To fix this we would set
