Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2010l: DST law changes in

Egypt and Palestine. Added new names for two Micronesian timezones: Pacific/Chuuk is now preferred over Pacific/Truk (and the preferred abbreviation is CHUT not TRUT) and Pacific/Pohnpei is preferred over Pacific/Ponape. Historical corrections for Finland.

+#
+#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
+#     except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.
+#
+# Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon.

+# I only came across this incidentally.  I don't know if Windsor began

+# Prince Edward Island	Not used.
