    Don't require bleeding-edge timezone data in timestamptz regression test. · 8d7af8fb

    The regression test cases added in commits b2cbced9 et al depended in part
    on the Russian timezone offset changes of Oct 2014.  While this is of no
    particular concern for a default Postgres build, it was possible for a
    build using --with-system-tzdata to fail the tests if the system tzdata
    database wasn't au courant.  Bjorn Munch and Christoph Berg both complained
    about this while packaging 9.4rc1, so we probably shouldn't insist on the
    system tzdata being up-to-date.  Instead, make an equivalent test using a
    zone change that occurred in Venezuela in 2007.  With this patch, the
    regression tests should pass using any tzdata set from 2012 or later.
    (I can't muster much sympathy for somebody using --with-system-tzdata
    on a machine whose system tzdata is more than three years out-of-date.)
