Currently, ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone#utc? simply runs a check to see if the linked ActiveSupport::TimeZone's name is "UTC". This will only return true for ActiveSupport::TimeZone["UTC"], but not for time zones such as "Etc/UTC", "Etc/Universal", or other time zones that are aliases for UTC. Interestingly enough, ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone#utc? is also aliased as #gmt? but will return false for the "GMT" timezone (along with other TZInfo aliases for GMT). Instead of running a simple check on the TimeZone name, we can rely on the underlying TZInfo::TimezonePeriod and TZInfo::TimezoneOffset which keep a record of of the offset's abbreviated name. The possibilities here for UTC time zones are `:UTC`, `:UCT`, and `:GMT`. Signed-off-by:
