[tz] Adding Asia/Beijing timezone into the database

[Jaakko Hyvätti]

It's just a code.  Same kind of apparently stupid things get added to 
database all the time, like this:

SX      +180305-0630250 America/Lower_Princes

.. Where Lower Princes is more like a suburb of Sint Maarten capital city, 
Philipsburg, and should not have been used even as a code.  Any reasonable 
user interface should use something else.

Maybe someone could maintain a database of reasonable translations in many 
languages/locales for each timezone?

Regards,
Jaakko
