We should not use the Dom0's based date & time setting applet, and instead start this applet from within the clockvm.

There is no simple way to integrate application from VM with firstboot.
We already are copying /etc/localtime to template root.img after firstboot run. I've added copying ntp.conf also.

Notice that dom0 still need correct timezone settings (actually set at installation phase), so in any case it must be copied from dom0.
