Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2018f.
About half of this is purely cosmetic changes to reduce the diff between our code and theirs, like inserting "const" markers where they have them. The other half is tracking actual code changes in zic.c and localtime.c. I don't think any of these represent near-term compatibility hazards, but it seems best to stay up to date. I also fixed longstanding bugs in our code for producing the known_abbrevs.txt list, which by chance hadn't been exposed before, but which resulted in some garbage output after applying the upstream changes in zic.c. Notably, because upstream removed their old phony transitions at the Big Bang, it's now necessary to cope with TZif files containing no DST transition times at all.
