Update our mapping of Windows time zone names using CLDR info.
This corrects a bunch of entries in win32_tzmap[], and adds a few
new ones, based on the CLDR project's windowsZones.xml file.
Non-cosmetic changes fall into four main categories:
* Flat-out errors:
US/Aleutan doesn't exist
America/Salvador doesn't exist
Asia/Baku is wrong for Yerevan
Asia/Dhaka (Bangladesh) is wrong for Astana (Kazakhstan)
Europe/Bucharest is wrong for Chisinau
America/Mexico_City is wrong for Chetumal
America/Buenos_Aires is wrong for Cayenne
America/Caracas has its own zone, so poor fit for La Paz
US/Eastern is wrong for Haiti
US/Eastern is wrong for Indiana (East)
Asia/Karachi is wrong for Tashkent
Etc/UTC+12 doesn't exist
Signs of Etc/GMT zones were backwards
* Judgment calls:
(These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one)
Use Europe/London for "Greenwich Standard Time", since that seems much
more likely than Africa/Casablanca to be what people will think that
zone name means. CLDR has Atlantic/Reykjavik here, but that's no better.
Asia/Shanghai seems a better fit than Hong Kong for "China Standard
Time".
Europe/Sarajevo is now a link to Belgrade, ie "Central Europe Standard
Time"; so use Warsaw for "Central European Standard Time".
America/Sao_Paulo seems more representative than Araguaina for
"E. South America Standard Time".
Africa/Johannesburg seems more representative than Harare for
"South Africa Standard Time".
* New Windows zone names:
"Israel Standard Time"
"Kaliningrad Standard Time"
"Russia Time Zone N" for various N
"Singapore Standard Time"
"South Sudan Standard Time"
"W. Central Africa Standard Time"
"West Bank Standard Time"
"Yukon Standard Time"
Some of these replace older spellings, but I kept the older spellings
too in case our code runs on a machine with the older data.
* Replace aliases (tzdb Links) with underlying city-named zones:
(This tracks tzdb's longstanding practice, and reduces inconsistency
with the rest of the entries, as well as with CLDR.)
US/Alaska
Asia/Kuwait
Asia/Muscat
Canada/Atlantic
Australia/Canberra
Canada/Saskatchewan
US/Central
US/Eastern
US/Hawaii
US/Mountain
Canada/Newfoundland
US/Pacific
Back-patch to all supported branches, as is our usual practice for
time zone data updates.
