Description:
My connect string is 'jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test?characterEncoding=utf8'
When I use Connector/J 5.1.x version,this connect string have no problem in my server tomcat.
But when I use Connector/J 6.0.3, it will throw a Exception when create connection.
The exception stack is :

Caused by: com.mysql.cj.core.exceptions.InvalidConnectionAttributeException: The server time zone value 'CST' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specifc time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support.

How to repeat:
MySQL server system_time_zone variable is CST
The connect string without a serverTimezone parameter.

Suggested fix:
I find that caused by timezone setting
At version 5.1.x, the ConnectionImpl.configureTimezone() will config the timezone setting from MySQL server, but before get timezone config from server environment, it have a "getUseTimezone() || !getUseLegacyDatetimeCode()" determine statement, as default it will be false, so the timezone config from java environment.
But at version 6.0.3, it has't this determine before get timezone from server, and because of TimeUtil parse a timezone string from file TimeZoneMapping.properties, when can't get a value of key 'CST', it will throw a Exception.

I think if can get java default timezone setting when catch a exception which throw with get timezone from MySQL server?
