Summary

CI is failing due to GitHub Actions update, because the legacy timezone name "US/Eastern" is no longer available.

Change the datetime unittest to use "America/New_York" instead (which is the canonical replacement name).

Testing

Tested by CI on Ubuntu 26.04. Also tested locally on Arch Linux.

Generative AI

I did not use generative AI tools when creating this PR.

The "US/Eastern" timezone name has been deprecated for a while now and is
no longer included in recent Ubuntu 26.04 by default.  Use the canonical
"America/New_York" instead, which looks to be widely available (on Ubuntu
and Arch Linux at least).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones for a list
of timezone names and their canonical status.
