Before the change in this PR, we used to prefix `GMT` to (non-custom timezone
ids) if the timezone id returned by `ZoneId#getId()` started with the `+` or
`-` sign, before calling `getTimeZone(modifiedTzid, true)`.
With this change, for `ZoneId`s that aren't `ZoneOffset` instance, we now call
`getTimeZone(originalTzid, true)`, without first checking/prefixing the id with
`GMT`. Is that an intentional change and would that potentially cause
`getTimeZone(String, boolean)` to return a different result?
