Update for Asia/Calcutta timezone

[Mark Davis ☕]

I agree. Once we have a city in that zone, let's leave it be.

BTW, I don't think a city can ever 'leave' a zone. The zone could split, but
part of it would still contain the city (assuming no disaster that wipes the
city away completely).

Take a hypothetical: let's suppose that Southern California seceded from the
United States. Even in that situation I think what should happen is
something like:

US	+340308-1181434	America/Los_Angeles	Pacific Time

=>

SC	+340308-1181434	America/Los_Angeles

US	+374736-1223317	America/San_Francisco	Pacific Time
