<i18n dev> RFR: 8148446: (tz) Support tzdata2016a

[Masayoshi Okutsu]

Hi Ramanand,

I noticed that the zones in Yakutsk Time [1] seem to have their own 
names, such as "Khandyga Time" for Asia/Khandyga, and you seem to follow 
that convention for Asia/Chita. That causes some mismatch between the 
long names and abbreviations.

I dag out some past tzdata fixes to see how that happened. What I found 
out is that the 2013b fix [2] used "Yakutsk Time", but that the 2013c 
[3] fix used "Khandyga Time". 2013b went to JDK 7 updates and earlier 
ones and 2013c went to 8. JDK 9 inherits the 8 fix.

I prefer to restore the 2013b convention for Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Chita, 
and Asia/Khandyga to have:

     {"Yakutsk Time", "YAKT",
      "Yakutsk Summer Time", "YAKST",
      "Yakutsk Time", "YAKT"}

Thanks,
Masayoshi
