    Sync zoneinfo database with tzdata2016b from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases
    
    * New zones Europe/Astrakhan, Europe/Ulyanovsk for the Russian Oblasts
        (their post-1970 histories differ), and Asia/Barnaul for Altai Krai
        and Altai Republic, Russia. Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to
        +11 on March 27, 2016. (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the
        heads-up, and to Matt Johnson and Stepan Golosunov for followup.)
    
    * Haiti will not observe DST in 2016. (Thanks to Jean Antoine via
        Steffen Thorsen.)
    
    * Palestine's spring-forward transition on March 26, 2016 is at 01:00,
        not 00:00. (Thanks to Hannah Kreitem.)
    
    * Europe/Chisinau observed DST during 1990, and switched from +04 to
        +03 at 1990-05-06 02:00, instead of switching from +03 to +02.
        (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
    
    * 1991 abbreviations in Europe/Samara should be SAMT/SAMST, not
        KUYT/KUYST. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
    
    * Comments in zone tables have been improved.
        (Thanks to J William Piggott.)
    
    * In the Theory file, the description of possible time zone
        abbreviations in tzdata has been cleaned up, as the old
        description was unclear and inconsistent.  (Thanks to Alain Mouette
        for reporting the problem.)
