Subject: [PATCH] Add timezone and locale parameters to
 generate_context_fingerprint() (#563)

Allow callers to inject pre-resolved timezone/locale into the
fingerprint before init_script generation. When provided, these
take priority over preset data.

In launch_options(), use setdefault for geoip timezone/locale keys
so that values pre-set via generate_context_fingerprint() aren't
overwritten by geoip resolution.
