Make time correct at OpenWrt

[EkkoG]

Because golang use local zoneinfo file to identify the timezone¹² and relate package is not install by default at OpenWrt, so if you want the log time correct at OpenWrt, you should install the zoneinfo package

Choose one based on you location to install with opkg

zoneinfo-africa - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Africa)
zoneinfo-america - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (America North/South)
zoneinfo-asia - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Asia)
zoneinfo-atlantic - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Atlantic Ocean)
zoneinfo-australia-nz - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Australia-NZ)
zoneinfo-europe - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Europe)
zoneinfo-indian - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Indian Ocean)
zoneinfo-pacific - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Pacific Ocean)
zoneinfo-poles - 2023c-2 - Zone Information (Arctic, Antarctic)

Or install all of the zoneinfo packages

opkg install zoneinfo-all

Then run /etc/init.d/system restart to make changes take effect.

Then restart your service, dae or daed.

So, #328 is no needed, the final reason is the lack of zoneinfo package.
