[tz] Incorrect Time Zone Data for American/Grand_Turk

[Robert MacGrogan]

Sorry, I was out of town for a bit and was unable to respond.

FYI, I'm using a .NET library that is backed by the time zone database.
Specifically I'm using my own branch of this:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Afk.ZoneInfo/

I installed the 2018e data myself so there is no distributor involved. I
suspect that some will think that the problem must be in the code base. I
think that's unlikely because the code base has not changed in years and
works perfectly except for this one time zone.

I'll see if I can run the test you suggest, but I don't currently have a
Linux or Unix install handy and that looks like Unix to me.

Running my own unit tests, btw, that is not the output I get. For Sun Mar
11 07:00:00 2018 UT using the 2018e data I get  Sun Mar 11 02:00:00 2018 as
the local Grand Turk time. So maybe it is a code issue. If I change line
3426 in the northamerica file to this:

-4:00 US AST 2018 Mar 11 3:00

I get the correct result.
