[tz] [PATCH 3/3] * zic.c: Output version-2 format files if possible.

Paul Eggert eggert at cs.ucla.edu

We don't know of any clients where this makes a difference, but it
is a more-conservative change, as in theory older clients could
reject version-3 format files merely because of the version number.
(ZIC_VERSION_PRE_2013): New macro.
(writezone): New arg 'version'.  All callers changed.
(outzone): Output version-2 format files unless the capabilities
of version 3 are used.
