A large fraction of this diff is just due to upstream's somewhat
random decision to rename a bunch of internal variables and struct
fields. However, there is an interesting new feature in zic:
it's grown a "-b slim" option that emits zone files without 32-bit
data and other backwards-compatibility hacks. We should consider
whether we wish to enable that.

This corrects a small bug in zic that caused it to output an incorrect
year-2440 transition in the Africa/Casablanca zone.
More interestingly, zic has grown a "-r" option that limits the range of
zone transitions that it will put into the output files. That might be
useful to people who don't like the weird GMT offsets that tzdb likes
to use for very old dates. It appears that for dates before the cutoff
time specified with -r, zic will use the zone's standard-time offset
as of the cutoff time. So for example one might do
make install ZIC_OPTIONS='-r @-1893456000'
to cause all dates before 1910-01-01 to be treated as though 1910
standard time prevailed indefinitely far back. (Don't blame me for
the unfriendly way of specifying the cutoff time --- it's seconds
since or before the Unix epoch. You can use extract(epoch ...)
to calculate it.)
As usual, back-patch to all supported branches.

About half of this is purely cosmetic changes to reduce the diff between
our code and theirs, like inserting "const" markers where they have them.
The other half is tracking actual code changes in zic.c and localtime.c.
I don't think any of these represent near-term compatibility hazards, but
it seems best to stay up to date.
I also fixed longstanding bugs in our code for producing the
known_abbrevs.txt list, which by chance hadn't been exposed before,
but which resulted in some garbage output after applying the upstream
changes in zic.c. Notably, because upstream removed their old phony
transitions at the Big Bang, it's now necessary to cope with TZif files
containing no DST transition times at all.

This is a trivial update containing only cosmetic changes. The point
is just to get back to being synced with an official release of tzcode,
rather than some ad-hoc point in their commit history, which is where
commit 47f849a3c left it.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

zic no longer mishandles some transitions in January 2038 when it
attempts to work around Qt bug 53071. This fixes a bug affecting
Pacific/Tongatapu that was introduced in zic 2016e. localtime.c
now contains a workaround, useful when loading a file generated by
a buggy zic.
There are assorted cosmetic changes as well, notably relocation
of a bunch of #defines.

We hadn't done this in about six years, which proves to have been a mistake
because there's been a lot of code churn upstream, making the merge rather
painful. But putting it off any further isn't going to lessen the pain,
and there are at least two incompatible changes that we need to absorb
before someone starts complaining that --with-system-tzdata doesn't work
at all on their platform, or we get blindsided by a tzdata release that
our out-of-date zic can't compile. Last week's "time zone abbreviation
differs from POSIX standard" mess was a wake-up call in that regard.
This is a sufficiently large patch that I'm afraid to back-patch it
immediately, though the foregoing considerations imply that we probably
should do so eventually. For the moment, just put it in HEAD so that
it can get some testing. Maybe we can wait till the end of the 9.6
beta cycle before deeming it okay.

this adds support for 64-bit tzdata files, which is needed to support DST
calculations beyond 2038. Add a regression test case to give some minimal
confidence that that really works.

respect to doubly-starred comment blocks. Do some manual cleanup.

and should do now that we control our own destiny for timezone handling,
but this commit gets the bulk of the picayune diffs in place.
