tz patch for Tonga, Jordan, Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Pitcairn, etc.

Here is a proposed tz patch for problems recently reported to the tz
list, along with many more changes from Shanks's 1999 atlas. The
pressing needs are to fix a typo in Tonga's rules, and to install
changes for Jordan, Pitcairn, far eastern Siberia, and Transdniestria,
where the current tz database disagrees with current time stamps.
Here is a brief summary of all the changes.
* Fix typo in the last Tonga Rule.
(Thanks to Sullivan Beck for reporting this.)
* Jordan reverted to winter time on 09-30. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen
for reporting this.) For lack of better info, assume 04-01 to 10-01
for Jordan DST in future years.
* Pitcairn switched from UTC-8:30 to UTC-8 on 1998-04-27 at 00:00.
(Thanks to Rives McDow for reporting this; thanks also to Betty
Christian of Pitcairn via the shortwave of Howie Phelps of
Sacramento for confirming this.) The official name for this zone is
Pitcairn Standard Time, so I couldn't resist changing its
abbreviation from PNT to PST.
* Pangnirtung, Nunavut observes two time zones simultaneously.
(Thanks to Rives McDow for this info.) This changes only the
commentary, since I decided to stick with the RCMP for now.
* Clinton and Russell Counties, Kentucky, may join with Wayne County
in moving from Central to Eastern Time. This changes only commentary.
* Many of the Russian rules could be simplified, now that zic behaves
better when the tables change the UTC offset at a DST transition.
* The CIA has a newer time zone map, with a new URL.
* The Kaliningrad entry had a typo: during 1945, its summer time was
labeled CET, not CEST.
The rest of the proposed changes are from Shanks's 1999 edition; most
of the changes were caused by the flurry of time zone activity in the
Soviet Union as it broke up in the early 1990s.
* Anadyr reverted to UTC+12 (+13 in summer) on 1982-04-01.
* Moldova currently has two time zones: Transdniestria uses Moscow time.
This requires a new Zone Europe/Tiraspol.
* Ruthenia (in far western Ukraine) flirted with CET in 1990 and 1991.
This requires a new Zone Europe/Uzhgorod.
* Zaporozh'ye and eastern Lugansk oblasts observed DST 1990/1991, unlike
the rest of Ukraine. This requires a new Zone Europe/Zaporozhye.
* Peru observed DST in 1994, not 1993.
* Central Crimea probably switched to Moscow time later in 1994 than our
previous guess of Feb. May sounds like a better guess now.
* Kuybyshev (now Samara) used EEST in summer 1991, and reverted to UTC+4
on Oct 20 of that year.
* Kaliningrad simply switched from Moscow to eastern European time in
spring 1991; it didn't follow the rest of Moscow's gyrations.
* Most of Russia jumped ahead an hour in June 1930, not March 1957.
* Locations in Russia adopted standard time as the Red Army occupied
them in 1919/1922, not all at once in 1924.
* Moscow's 1918-09 transition was on the 16th at 01:00, not the 17th at 00:00.
* The definition of Moscow Mean Time changed on 1916-07-03, by 48 seconds.
* The strange rules for summer time in the Ukraine and Crimea before 1921
have all been withdrawn. Much of the Ukraine rules before 1990 have
been greatly modified.
