Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* Lubuntu currently uses ipapi.co for GeoIP services.
* ipapi.co is not controlled by us, and could become obsolete in the future.
* Canonical already provides this service, so we should move to use this
instead.
[Test Case]
1. With a Lubuntu 20.04 LTS daily ISO, install the package from focal-proposed.
2. Ensure that your current timezone is correctly identified and selected.
[Regression Potential]
* Any underlying regressions to the XML library could affect this change.
* If Canonical's GeoIP service goes down, the default location is New York.
This provides a clear fallback.
* Edge cases with Canonical's GeoIP service might occur, but should be
addressed with the service itself and not our settings.
