Feature request

Suggest the ability to allow a custom list of options to be provided to the Timezone select component.

Examples

As an example, there is currently an option for America/Mexico_City for the CST time zone, but there isn't an option that also covers CDT, e.g. America/Chicago. Rather than trying to find a one-size-fits-all solution, allowing the list to be tailored would be a more flexible approach to meet different use-case scenarios.

Research direction
The issue requests a customizable list of timezone options for the Timezone select component. Investigate the current Timezone component implementation in the Blueprint repository, likely in packages/timezone/src/. Look for how existing select components handle custom options, such as the Select component with itemRenderer and items props. The feature can be implemented by adding an optional 'timezoneOptions' prop that accepts a custom array of timezone objects, overriding the default list. Consider using the same pattern as other Blueprint components to maintain consistency. No existing PRs or comments provide further guidance.
