Update Information:
Rebase to tzdata-2018e - North Korea changed from UTC+8:30 to UTC+9 on May
5, 2018. - In this update, the upstream project now defaults to using the
"vanguard" data implementation which includes negative DST offsets. However, in
order to provide better compatibility with existing tools, this update provides
the "rearguard" format for data which does not use negative DST offsets. We
intend to transition to the "vanguard" data implementation in the future.
