More merge/updates for tzdata 2023a

Undo the previous revert - turns out that vers 1.7 was correct after
all, and I am simply unable to read or comprehend (properly).

Revert last. remains in northamerica as a zone, does not need a link here
(this one came from the gtz fork, rather than some local botch...)

Merge more changes that should have been made, but weren't. One day
I will work out why this doesn't happen automatically. Ugh.

Merge changes that should have been merged in earlier updates, but
got missed. This is in preparation for an updata to tzdata2022g
which is coming soon (still from the gtz fork).

There is a (small) chance this update might break the build, that will
be fixed (if it happens) when 2022g is merged (which should not be
very far into the future).

Volgograd switched to Moscow time on 2020-12-27 at 02:00.

Correct many pre-1986 transitions, fixing entries originally
derived from Shanks. The fixes include changes to:
Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, Belize, Ghana, Israel and Palestine,
Kenya and adjacent, Nigeria and adjacent, Seychelles, Vanuatu

Australia/Currie has been moved to the 'backward' file and its
corrected data moved to the 'backzone' file.

To better match legislation in Turks and Caicos, the 2015 shift to
year-round observance of -04 is now modeled as AST throughout before
returning to Eastern Time with US DST in 2018, rather than as
maintaining EDT until 2015-11-01.

Import tzdata2017a from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2017a.tar.gz

Summary of changes in tzdata2017a (2017-02-28 00:05:36 -0800):

Briefly: Southern Chile moves from -04/-03 to -03, and Mongolia
discontinues DST.

Changes to future time stamps

Mongolia no longer observes DST.
Chile's Region of Magallanes moves from -04/-03 to -03 year-round.

Changes to past time stamps

Fix many entries for historical time stamps for Europe/Madrid
before 1979, to agree with tables compiled by Pere Planesas of the
National Astronomical Observatory of Spain. As a side effect,
this changes some time stamps for Africa/Ceuta before 1929, which
are probably guesswork anyway.

Ecuador observed DST from 1992-11-28 to 1993-02-05.

Asia/Atyrau and Asia/Oral were at +03 (not +04) before 1930-06-21.

Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations

Switch to numeric time zone abbreviations for South America, as
part of the ongoing project of removing invented abbreviations.

For Alaska time from 1900 through 1967, instead of "CAT" use the
abbreviation "AST", the abbreviation commonly used at the time
(Atlantic Standard Time had not been standardized yet). Use "AWT"
and "APT" instead of the invented abbreviations "CAWT" and "CAPT".

Use "CST" and "CDT" instead of invented abbreviations for Macau
before 1999 and Taiwan before 1938, and use "JST" instead of the
invented abbreviation "JCST" for Japan and Korea before 1938.

Change to database entry category

Move the Pacific/Johnston link from 'australasia' to 'backward',
since Johnston is now uninhabited.

* Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00.

the tz database, is often poorly sourced, and contains some data
that is known to be incorrect.
* Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
from existing zones only for older time stamps. As usual,
