Improve time zone document (#714)
- Move from Common Tasks to Configuration Guides, since most users will
  just use the GUI

- Rename from `change-timezone-terminal.md` to `change-time-zone.md`
  (1) because we don't want multiple time zone documents for terminal
  and non-terminal usage and (2) to make the orthography of "time zone"
  consistent; update title and permalink accordingly

- Make heading syntax consistent

- Add heading

- Fix code block syntax

- Fix typo

- Add page to ToC

# Changing your Time Zone #
## Qubes 4.0 ##
### Command line ###
If you use the i3 window manager or would prefer to change the system's time
zone in terminal you can issue the `timedatectl` command with the option
`set-timezone`.
For example, to set the system's time zone to Berlin, Germany type in a dom0
terminal:
$ sudo timedatectl set-timezone 'Europe/Berlin'
You can list the available time zones with the option `list-timezones` and show
the current settings of the system clock and time zone with option `status`.
Example output status of `timedatectl` on a system with time zone set to
Europe/Berlin:
[user@dom0 ~]$ timedatectl status
