Suggest adding ISO Phonetic and Letter time zone names, used in military and
other organizations, in the Etc directory, linked to the existing Etc/GMT[-/+n]
time zones, created from the etcetera data file, as shown in the attached file
(suffixed .txt for reader convenience).

If there are any concerns about adding them into Etc, they could be added to a
new ISO, Letter, Phonetic, Mil, Military, or other directory.

Note that Etc/Zulu is already created as a Link from Etc/UTC, the names India
and Quebec do not already exist in any directories, while America/Lima (Peru)
already exists.
