proposed tz changes for Portugal, Etc/GMT-14, and Mideast/Riyadh89

Here are proposed changes to the tz database:

* Portugal is apparently not moving its clocks this spring.

* Since Kiritimati is now 14 hours ahead of GMT, there should be an
  Etc/GMT-14 zone.  (I suppose if Cuba goes ahead with its threat to move
  its clocks ahead by 24 hours, we'll need an Etc/GMT-19 zone...)

* Fix a typo in solar89.
