As far as I can tell, there is no commonly used English-language abbreviation
for the time in Sri Lanka. The database uses "LKT" for this abbreviation, but
this abbreviation was invented back when I felt free to make things up, and
nowadays I'd rather not encourage that sort of thing. So, let's instead change
the abbreviation to "+0530". We can do that after the next release (which we'll
need to do for Magadan) and things start to open up for less-urgent changes like
this.
