    Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2016c. · 676265eb
    Tom Lane authored
    DST law changes in Azerbaijan, Chile, Haiti, Palestine, and Russia (Altai,
    Astrakhan, Kirov, Sakhalin, Ulyanovsk regions).  Historical corrections
    for Lithuania, Moldova, Russia (Kaliningrad, Samara, Volgograd).
    
    As of 2015b, the keepers of the IANA timezone database started to use
    numeric time zone abbreviations (e.g., "+04") instead of inventing
    abbreviations not found in the wild like "ASTT".  This causes our rather
    old copy of zic to whine "warning: time zone abbreviation differs from
    POSIX standard" several times during "make install".  This warning is
    harmless according to the IANA folk, and I don't see any problems with
    these abbreviations in some simple tests; but it seems like now would be
    a good time to update our copy of the tzcode stuff.  I'll look into that
    soon.
