    Sync zoneinfo database with tzdata2016i from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases
    
    * Pacific/Tongatapu begins DST on 2016-11-06 at 02:00, ending on
        2017-01-15 at 03:00.  Assume future observances in Tonga will be
        from the first Sunday in November through the third Sunday in
        January, like Fiji.  (Thanks to Pulu ʻAnau.)  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.  (Thanks to Even Scharning and Matt Johnson.)
    
    * Antarctica/Casey switched from +08 to +11 on 2016-10-22.
        (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
    
    * Several corrections were made for pre-1975 time stamps in Italy.
        These affect Europe/Malta, Europe/Rome, Europe/San_Marino, and
        Europe/Vatican.
    
      First, the 1893-11-01 00:00 transition in Italy used the new UT
        offset (+01), not the old (+00:49:56).  (Thanks to Michael
        Deckers.)
    
      Second, rules for daylight saving in Italy were changed to agree
        with Italy's National Institute of Metrological Research (INRiM)
        except for 1944, as follows (thanks to Pierpaolo Bernardi, Brian
        Inglis, and Michael Deckers):
    
        The 1916-06-03 transition was at 24:00, not 00:00.
    
        The 1916-10-01, 1919-10-05, and 1920-09-19 transitions were at
          00:00, not 01:00.
    
        The 1917-09-30 and 1918-10-06 transitions were at 24:00, not
          01:00.
    
        The 1944-09-17 transition was at 03:00, not 01:00.  This
          particular change is taken from Italian law as INRiM's table,
          (which says 02:00) appears to have a typo here.  Also, keep the
          1944-04-03 transition for Europe/Rome, as Rome was controlled by
          Germany then.
    
        The 1967-1970 and 1972-1974 fallback transitions were at 01:00,
          not 00:00.
