[tz] Europe/Volgograd timezone changes in Russia

[Steffen Thorsen]

It is now reported that this change in Volgograd is now approved (or 
nearly so).

According to 
https://rodgor-vlg.ru/chleny-soveta-federacii-odobrili-perehod-volgograda-na-moskovskoe-vremja.html 
only the signature is missing and "it is expected that the Volgograd 
region will switch to the Moscow time zone from December 26 to 27."
