bpo-XXXXX: Exclude symlinks from zoneinfo.available_timezones() results\n\nSometimes available_timezones() was including 'localtime' in its results\nbecause it wasn't properly handling symlinks. This change ensures that\nsymlinks like 'localtime' are excluded from the available timezones list,\nproviding consistent results across different systems.\n\nAdded a test case to verify that symlinks are properly excluded.
