[tz] Fiji DST Oct 26

[Tim Parenti]

Speaking of Belarus's time zone abbreviation change, attached is a small 
patch to NEWS for more consistency with recent release notes dealing 
with changes to time zone abbreviations, specifically 2014f and 2013e, 
since that change doesn't affect timestamps per se.

     Since Belarus is not changing its clocks even though Moscow is,
     the time zone abbreviation in Europe/Minsk is changing from FET
     to its more-traditional value MSK on 2014-10-26 at 01:00.
