Allow other time zone with `CRONUT_BASE_TIME_ZONE` #3

For groups whose offices are not in EST, this change allows for the specification of an alternate time zone to use for scheduling through an environment variable, CRONUT_BASE_TIME_ZONE.

Other changes:

Using strftime's %Z parameter to abbreviate time zones. This does result in the standard times being EDT instead of EST, but does allow for interface and alert output to use preferred time over a hard-wired zone.

Thanks so much for doing this, looks great! I guess I kinda got carried away with the notion that NYC is the centre of the universe. :wink:
