Update time zone abbreviation lists for changes missed since 2006.

Most (all?) of Russia has moved to what's effectively year-round daylight
savings time, so that the "standard" zone names now mean an hour later
than they used to.  Update that, notably changing MSK as per recent
complaint from Sergey Konoplev, but also CHOT, GET, IRKT, KGT, KRAT,
MAGT, NOVT, OMST, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT.  The corresponding DST abbreviations
are presumably now obsolete, but I left them in place with their old
definitions, just to reduce any possible breakage from this change.

Also add VOLT (Europe/Volgograd), which for some reason we never had
before, as well as MIST (Antarctica/Macquarie), and fix obsolete
definitions of MAWT, TKT, and WST.
