Parameters

  name | the name of the region to find or a UTC offset given as a string ("+01:00")
  xsink | if the given region is not found or valid or any error occur finding or loading the given region, exception info is stored here and the function returns 0

Returns
  the time zone region found or 0 if the timezone is UTC (also in case of an exception 0 is returned - check xsink after calling)
