<i18n dev> RFR : 7149608 (tz): Default TZ detection fails on linux when symbolic links to non default location used.

[Seán Coffey]

Yes - good catch. I hadn't tested the sym link being a relative path. We 
should always open whatever is pointed to from DEFAULT_ZONEINFO_FILE. 
This simplifies the code. Tested and looks good.

Sean.
