If the input tz data files, either in "test" tree or "make" tree, cannot 
be located, the test will fail which effectively reports if there is a 
repo structure change. So I believe it is ok as it is.

Aside from it, the latest changes to eliminate the duplicates caused 
that regression test fail. The reason was that there were actually two 
"jdk11_backward" data files each in "tzdata" and "tzdata_jdk" test 
directories, and the contents differ! I am not sure the reason why there 
are two files this way (seems to be so for years), so I reverted that 
exact file as before. Here is the webrev reflected that:
