Edward Welbourne 99475db542 Revise Windows time-zone mapping to use proper IANA IDs
The CLDR's "IANA" IDs may (for the sake of stability) date back to
before IANA's own naming has been updated. As a result, the "IANA" IDs
we were using were in some cases out of date. CLDR does provide a
mapping from its stable IDs to all aliases and the current IANA name
for each (which I shall soon be needing in other work), so use that to
map the CLDR IDs to contemporary IANA ones.

Revise the documentation of CldrAccess.readWindowsTimeZones() to take
this into account, pass it the alias mapping from the table, use that
to map IDs internally and, in passing, rename a variable.  Update
cldr2qtimezone.py to match the new CldrAccess methods and regenerate
the data.

README

locale_database is used to generate qlocale data from CLDR.

CLDR is the Common Locale Data Repository, a database for localized
data (like date formats, country names etc).  It is provided by the
Unicode consortium.

See cldr2qlocalexml.py for how to run it and qlocalexml2cpp.py to
update the locale data tables (principally text/qlocale_data_p.h and
time/q*calendar_data_p.h under src/corelib/). See enumdata.py for when
and how to update the data it provides. You shall definitely need to
pass --no-verify or -n to git commit for these changes.

See cldr2qtimezone.py on how to update tables of Windows-specific
names for zones and UTC-offset zone names.
