python3-time-machine: fix ptest tzdata/dateutil issues

time_machine's C-level time/timezone patching relies on libc's
tzset()//usr/share/zoneinfo, which requires the system tzdata package -
distinct from python3-tzdata (Python's importlib zoneinfo data), which
the recipe already had. Add tzdata to RDEPENDS:${PN}-ptest.

Deselect test_destination_datetime_tzinfo_non_zoneinfo:  it builds an
aware datetime from dateutil's tz.gettz("America/Chicago") and expects
the CST (-6h) offset at the 1970 epoch. OE builds /usr/share/zoneinfo
in "slim" format (zic -b slim); dateutil's tzfile parser mishandles
the pre-first-transition instant of a slim tzfile and returns a 0
(UTC) offset there, so the epoch maps to 0 instead of 21600. Python's
own zoneinfo reads the same file correctly, so this is a
dateutil/slim-tzdata limitation, not a time_machine bug.
