Broken default timezone

[verside2]

Description

The documentation says:
timeZone: [OPTIONAL] - Sets the execution time zone. Default is local time.

But starting from version 4.1.1, this is not the case. UTC is probably used by default.

Expected Behavior

new CronJob("1 0 * * *", () => console.log(1)).start(); // should start at 00:01 on local zone

Actual Behavior

new CronJob("1 0 * * *", () => console.log(1)).start(); // starts at 03:01 on local zone

Possible Fix

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Moscow
2. run

new CronJob("1 0 * * *", () => console.log(1)).start()

Context

> timedatectl
