time zone data: Update to 2016i
Note that several of the time zones now use a numeric name that is quoted with < > (e.g. "<+03>-3") musl 1.1.15 and earlier have a bug with < > quoted time zone names. Fix for the bug * has already been patched in musl upstream with http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=8ca27ac4bfe73bff785d0c26c1de0da92b55e5c6 * has been committed in LEDE with https://github.com/lede-project/source/commit/671cb35880308404a17c430c4b3b13dd506a5671 * has been submitted to Openwrt as pull request https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/163 Key changes in 2016d-2016i: --------------------------- 2016d: America/Caracas switches from -0430 to -04 on 2016-05-01. Asia/Magadan switches from +10 to +11 on 2016-04-24. New zone Asia/Tomsk, split off from Asia/Novosibirsk. 2016f: Asia/Novosibirsk switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-07-24. Asia/Novokuznetsk and Asia/Novosibirsk now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of invented ones. 2016g: Turkey switched from EET/EEST (+02/+03) to permanent +03, effective 2016-09-07. Use "+03" rather than an invented abbreviation for the new time. Several zones in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, along with zones intended for ships at sea that cannot use POSIX TZ strings, now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of invented or obsolete alphanumeric abbreviations. 2016h: Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron end DST on 2016-10-29, not 2016-10-21. Predict that future fall transitions will be on the last Saturday of October. Asia/Colombo now uses numeric time zone abbreviations like "+0530" instead of alphabetic ones like "IST" and "LKT". 2016i: Pacific/Tongatapu begins DST on 2016-11-06, ending on 2017-01-15. Assume future observances in Tonga will be from the first Sunday in November through the third Sunday in January, like Fiji. Switch to numeric time zone abbreviations for this zone. Northern Cyprus is now +03 year round, causing a split in Cyprus time zones starting 2016-10-30 at 04:00. This creates a zone Asia/Famagusta. Antarctica/Casey switched from +08 to +11 on 2016-10-22.
