[tz] [PROPOSED 01/18] More-systematic punctuation in *.tab comments

* zone.tab, zone1970.tab: Be more systematic about using “;” for
high level separation, “,” for medium, and “&” for low.  For
example, “Durango; Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas (most areas)”
because it’s all of Durango and most of the others; and “ON & QC
(most areas)” instead of “ON, QC (most areas)” because otherwise
the “(most areas)” would seem to apply only to QC.
