    Arrange to install a "posixrules" entry in our timezone database, so that · 0169c354

    POSIX-style timezone specs that don't exactly match any database entry will
    be treated as having correct USA DST rules.  Also, document that this can
    be changed if you want to use some other DST rules with a POSIX zone spec.
    
    We could consider changing localtime.c's TZDEFRULESTRING, but since that
    facility can only deal with one DST transition rule, it seems fairly useless
    now; might as well just plan to override it using a "posixrules" entry.
    
    Backpatch as far as 8.0.  There isn't much we can do in 7.x ... either your
    libc gets it right, or it doesn't.
