Repository: go-playground/validator

Issue:
Add support for validating time zone name
### Package version eg. v8, v9: 
v10


### Issue, Question or Enhancement:
Enhancement
Add support for validating time zone name

This validates that a string value is a valid time zone based on the time zone database present on the system.
Although empty value and Local value are allowed by time.LoadLocation golang function, they are not allowed by this validator.
