[tz] Potential problem with Sao_Paulo TZ in tzdata2019c

It appears there is a bug with the America/Sao_Paulo time zone;
specifically, with the 2014-02-15/16 DST change.  Not sure the best way to
confirm and/or if there is someone that can quickly check/verify.  Thoughts?

I found this while working with java and noticed it after upgrading from
adoptopenjdk version 8u222_b10 to version 8u232_b09.  I believe 222
utilizes tzdata2019a while 232 utilizes tzdata2019c.  I understand that
there are many things that could cause the issue from the code running in
java down the stack to the tzdata; however, believe tzdata is the most
likely culprit.

Any thoughts/ideas of how to track this down?

Thank you,

Bryan
