Convert offset string: "[+/-]HHMM" or offset value in hours: +16, -5.5, to timezone abbreviation strings

Matched locations can be filtered by country name, city name or region code

timezone.to_abbr(input, country_or_city = NULL)

timezone.to_abbr(+8)
#> [1] "+08"  "AWST" "CST"  "HKT"  "WITA"

# If filtered by region code
timezone.to_abbr(+8, country_or_city = "HK")
#> [1] "HKT"

# If filtered by country name

#> [1] "+08"

# If filtered by city name
timezone.to_abbr(+8, country_or_city = "Shanghai")
#> [1] "CST"

# Using offset string
