perf: import heavy optional dependencies on first use (#1377)

A GENETIC server with external (import) providers and EOSdash disabled
loads several large packages at start that it never uses, which costs
a noticeable part of the memory on 512 MB boards:

- matplotlib via the GENETIC/GENETIC0 PDF report modules (server/eos.py)
- statsmodels via the Holt-Winters fallback in prediction/priceabc.py
- pvlib via the weather base class and the pvlib-based providers
- bs4/lxml via the ClearOutside provider
- scipy via the self-consumption interpolator singletons, which were
  loaded at import time
- the GENETIC0 optimizer, imported by core/ems.py
- tzfpy, whose polygon data the computed general.timezone loads

Import these where they are used. The interpolator tables are loaded
on first use (thread-safe). Nothing changes in what is computed.

general.timezone is computed from latitude/longitude and cannot be set.
Add general.timezone_override (IANA name, validated with pendulum):
when set, general.timezone returns it and the lookup is skipped. When
unset (default) the lookup is unchanged.

Tests that patched the moved names now patch them at their source.
A new test starts the server module in a subprocess and checks that
none of these modules is loaded.
