JVM must be configured with GMT/UTC timezone and UTF encoding in order to avoid issues with Liferay but we allow a wrong configuration.

A warning message should be logged in case of wrong configuration

Steps to reproduce

Download a clean tomcat bundle of Liferay
Open tomcat/bin/setenv.sh or setenv.bat
Change file.encoding and user.timezone
Create system-ext.properties file in webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes and set user.timezone
Start Liferay:
