Replace raw timezone source data with IANA's new compact format.

Traditionally IANA has distributed their timezone data in pure source
form, replete with extensive historical comments.  As of release 2017c,
they've added a compact single-file format that omits comments and
abbreviates command keywords.  This form is way shorter than the pure
source, even before considering its allegedly better compressibility.
Hence, let's distribute the data in that form rather than pure source.

I'm pushing this now, rather than at the next timezone database update,
so that it's easy to confirm that this data file produces compiled zic
output that's identical to what we were getting before.

Time Zone data
==============
The data files under data/ are an exact copy of the latest tzdata set,
except that we omit some files that are not of interest for our purposes.
We distribute the time zone source data as-is under src/timezone/data/.
Currently, we distribute just the abbreviated single-file format
"tzdata.zi", to reduce the size of our tarballs as well as churn
in our git repo. Feeding that file to zic produces the same compiled
output as feeding the bulkier individual data files would do.

# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):

# "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."
#
# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
# in person. He said that some Antarctic locations set their local
# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
# solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
# happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
# it is at Vostok. But we'll guess +06.

# Ethiopia
# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-31):
# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a
# 12-hour clock starting at our 06:00, so their "8 o'clock" is our
# 02:00 or 14:00. Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.
#
# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly-spaced time
# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05. Perhaps 38E50
# was for Adis Dera. Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong
# anyway.

# From Paul Eggert (2015-03-24):
# Since 1970 most of Quebec has been like Toronto; see
# America/Toronto. However, earlier versions of the tz database
# mistakenly relied on data from Shanks & Pottenger saying that Quebec
# differed from Ontario after 1970, and the following rules and zone
# were created for most of Quebec from the incorrect Shanks &
# Pottenger data. The post-1970 entries have been corrected, but the
# pre-1970 entries are unchecked and probably have errors.

# Time Act in 1883 and including additional confirmation of some of
# the dates of the 'Summer Time' orders originating at
# Westminster. There is a little uncertainty as to the starting date
# of the first summer time in 1916 which may have been announced a
# couple of days late. There is still a substantial number of
# documents to work through, but it is thought that every GB change
# was also implemented on the island.

# These entries are mostly present for historical reasons, so that
# people in areas not otherwise covered by the tz files could "zic -l"
# to a time zone that was right for their area. These days, the
# tz files cover almost all the inhabited world, and the only practical
# need now for the entries that are not on UTC are for ships at sea
# that cannot use POSIX TZ settings.
# Starting with POSIX 1003.1-2001, the entries below are all
# unnecessary as settings for the TZ environment variable. E.g.,
# instead of TZ='Etc/GMT+4' one can use the POSIX setting TZ='<-04>+4'.
#
# Do not use a POSIX TZ setting like TZ='GMT+4', which is four hours
# behind GMT but uses the completely misleading abbreviation "GMT".

# The following link uses older naming conventions,
# but it belongs here, not in the file 'backward',

# We want this to work even on installations that omit the other older names.

# Be consistent with POSIX TZ settings in the Zone names,
# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect.
# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect
# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses
# the abbreviation "-04" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT
# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to
# mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich).
# Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant,
# and had lines such as
# Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200
# We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old
# way does a
# zic -l GMT-12
# so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory.

# From Arthur David Olson (1989-04-05):
# On 1989-04-05, the U. S. House of Representatives passed (238-154) a bill
# establishing "Pacific Presidential Election Time"; it was not acted on
# by the Senate or signed into law by the President.
# You might want to change the "PE" (Presidential Election) below to
# "Q" (Quadrennial) to maintain three-character zone abbreviations.
# If you're really conservative, you might want to change it to "D".
# Avoid "L" (Leap Year), which won't be true in 2100.
# If Presidential Election Time is ever established, replace "XXXX" below
# with the year the law takes effect and uncomment the "##" lines.
