[tz] Belarus is listed in MSK timezone

The situation with MSK abbreviation is different. "Minsk time" was never 
abbreviated as MSK or associated with this abbreviation in any way in 
the past.

MSK stands for first three consonants of word Moscow transliterated from 
Russian (MoSKva) and has a long history behind it. And in my opinion 
trying to force this abbreviation onto "Minsk time" just because it sort 
of sticks (and already exists) isn't the right approach here.
