This was relatively simple to fix, assuming that the image used
to boot the windows instance has the os_type set to "windows".
The use of os_type in this manner is consistent with the
existing use in the Xen hypervisor driver.
DocImpact: if you're booting windows instances, then you need to
set the os_type image property in glance to "windows". Otherwise
your instances will have their clock timezone set to UTC, which
has unexpected side effects in windows.

Note that the unit test had to be tweaked to work in the backport.
There are no functional changes however.
