dotcom-rendering Timezones On Liveblog Blocks

At the top of each liveblog block there's an absolute timestamp corresponding to when the block was published. This timestamp doesn't currently include a timezone.

As a result, it could be unclear to users which timezone this timestamp is in, particularly those who are currently outside of one of the three timezones we support (Europe/London, America/New_York, Australia/Sydney).

We should add a timezone alongside the timestamp. We already do this for the "updated" timestamps that appear at the bottom of some liveblog blocks.

Okay it's not actually one line ... The code for the 'no timezone' is added here: https://github.com/guardian/frontend/pull/24848/files

In DCR we can switch from using blockFirstPublishedDisplayNoTimezone to blockFirstPublishedDisplay (and remove the former from the schema) - then revert the frontend PR to remove the code.

I knew it!

Thanks for the extra detail 👍

FYI this change will happen in AR as part of a wider overhaul to datetimes to make them more similar to dotcom: #5688
