Ian Lance Taylor ab31e2749f time/tzdata: new package
Importing the time/tzdata package will embed a copy of the IANA
timezone database into the program. This will let the program work
correctly when the timezone database is not available on the system.
It will increase the size of the binary by about 800K.

You can also build a program with -tags timetzdata to embed the
timezone database in the program being built.

This is a roll forward of CL 224588 which was rolled back due to
test failures. In this version, the test is in the time package,
not the time/tzdata package. That lets us compare the zip file
to the time/tzdata package, ensuring that we are looking at similar
versions of tzdata information.

Fixes #21881

zoneinfo.zip lib/time: update tz data to 2019c 2019-11-26 12:03:08 +00:00

The zoneinfo.zip archive contains time zone files compiled using
the code and data maintained as part of the IANA Time Zone Database.
The IANA asserts that the database is in the public domain.
