Title: setting the timezone is now part of the login process 

this PR fixes #120

How it works:
within the login screen the time zone offset is determined using javascript and written to a hidden field.
On server side the field is evaluated and the time offset is stored in _SESSION.

It basically works like before but the timezone offset is not transmitted in a separate ajax call but part of the login

@karlitschek @jancborchardt can you please review this? THX
