Description

On Java 9 I see DateUtilsTest fail. This is because "MST7MDT" zone is not formatted as "MST". I'm unclear as to why this is, but it is not relevant to what the test is trying to do. As such, I've changed the zone to "America/Denver" and changed the format letter from "z" to "XXX" to make it more reliable.

The PR also uses try-finally when setting the default time-zone to avoid pollution of global state if a test fails (the pollution here made it look like 8 test failures when there was only in fact 1).
