tests/u, tests/i: set TZ variable before running tests

* We were using the pytest-env plugin to run the tests in a non-UTC time
  zone.
* The pytest-env plugin doesn't work with pytest-xdist so this was being
  ignored.
* Also due to the way TZ support works in Python, changing the env var
  whilst Python is running may or may not result in changes.
