Sync zoneinfo database with tzdata2016h from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases
* Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron end DST on 2016-10-29 at 01:00, not
2016-10-21 at 00:00. (Thanks to Sharef Mustafa.) Predict that
future fall transitions will be on the last Saturday of October
at 01:00, which is consistent with predicted spring transitions
on the last Saturday of March. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
* In Turkey, transitions in 1986-1990 were at 01:00 standard time
not at 02:00, and the spring 1994 transition was on March 20, not
March 27. (Thanks to Kıvanç Yazan.)
* Asia/Colombo now uses numeric time zone abbreviations like "+0530"
instead of alphabetic ones like "IST" and "LKT". Various
English-language sources use "IST", "LKT" and "SLST", with no
working consensus. (Usage of "SLST" mentioned by Sadika
Sumanapala.)
* The 'Theory' file now has a section on interface stability.
(Requested by Paul Koning.) It also mentions features like
tm_zone and localtime_rz that have long been supported by the
reference code.
* The US commentary now mentions Allen and the "day of two noons".
* The Fiji commentary mentions the government's 2016-10-03 press
release. (Thanks to Raymond Kumar.)
