<i18n dev> Turkish Time Zone name string and translation

[Martin Buchholz]

I've always wondered how the timezone-related translations are managed.
CLDR seems to be the master repository of such data, and projects like
OpenJDK are simply supposed to import that data.
But I looked at the CLDR sources, and there doesn't seem to be any "Turkey
Time" strings defined like there are for e.g. Turkmenistan.
Maybe that work never got done?
