RFR: 8153044: Allow a property to control location of tzdb.dat file

[Seán Coffey]

Thanks for the review Roger. As per other thread, I'm going to drop this 
feature for now.

The TzdbZoneRulesProvider Object is already constructed in a 
doPrivileged block, so I believe it was covered on the security manager 
scenario.

Regards,
Sean.
