Description

Consider:

gui_unattended = vim.vm.customization.GuiUnattended()
gui_unattended.timeZone = 35
gui_unattended.autoLogon = False

Shouldn't there be a way to set the timezones that doesn't involve using raw numbers?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how timeZone is currently set in GuiUnattended and propose a more user friendly way, such as using timezone names or enums instead of raw numbers.
