[tz] Updates on Iranian Time Zone (IRDT)

[Ali Mirjamali]

Sorry for the confusion. Iranian year starts at March equinox (i.e. 1st 
Farvardin or 20th March). Daylight saving used to start at midnight 1st 
Farvadin. Till September equinox (i.e. 30th Shahrivar which is usually 
22nd September). For six months.

Best regards,
Ali
