Bug Description
The lists all_timezones and common_timezones are set by reducing a hard-coded list of timezones. These hard-coded lists of timezones are generated on generating the pytz release.
When tzdata adds a timezone or renames one (e.g. bug #1995864), python-tz needs to be updated.
pytz should evaluate the available timezones on the system to work with future tzdata updates.

For Python >= 3.9 there is a built-in library that can be used: zoneinfo.
