[threeten-dev] [threeten-develop] Opinion poll on Zone[d]DateTime

[Xueming Shen]

Here is the diff for the jdk8_threeten repo. Tests all passed (need to rename that
serialization bin data as well. I'm not putting that in diff, as it's a binary data).

Stephen, you might want to take a quick scan to see if anything obvious is missing.

I will hold the push, if Roger believes it would be better to do it together with the
packaging change (if there is one at the week end)'
