API - Set Organization Timezone Feature

[palisadoes]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The Talawa applications assume that the:

1. user and organization are in the same timezone
2. API server and the organization are in the same timezone

This will create confusion when an organization’s stakeholders and its service providers are geographically dispersed.

Describe the solution you'd like

We need organizations to be able to:

1. set their timezone to internationally recognizable values
2. allow the client apps to use this information to adjust all dates presented to that of the user
3. allow the user to see times relative to the timezone of the organization

The default timezone must be UTC

Describe alternatives you've considered

• N/A

Approach to be followed (optional)

Talawa-Admin

1. The feature must be added to the existing organization screen
2. The UI/UX look and feel must be maintained

Talawa-API

1. The timezone value must be stored in a way specific to the organization
2. All dates must be stored in the same timezone
3. The preferred timezone is UTC

Other

1. Adjusting other screens in the client application are out of scope at this time
2. Tests must be written for this feature for 100% coverage of the patch
3. All tests must be valid.

@AVtheking You currently have 3 issues. I know you have an extra issue because 2 are related. So I don't want to assign a 4th. Our policy is to assign no more than two issues to each contributor across all repositories. This way everyone gets a chance to participate in the projects. We sometimes give exceptions for more urgent cases and sometimes we lose track, but the policy stands. You have reached your limit, please wait until your existing issues are closed before requesting more issues. You could unassign yourself from one of the other issues too.

[AVtheking]

@Cioppolo14 sorry for the inconveniences I know about 2 issues policy but I asked before assignment of those 2 issues.

[Cioppolo14]

No problem, @AVtheking! That occurred to me that the timing might have been coincidental. Thank you!
