[Bug 1981042] [NEW] /etc/localtime symlink not correctly handled when using /etc/writable

[Robert Ancell]

Public bug reported:

When using /etc/writable (e.g. Ubuntu Core) /etc/localtime is a symlink
to /etc/writable/localtime (which in itself if a symlink). Systemd
doesn't handle this correctly when doing firstboot or using inotify to
watch for changed to localtime.
