[bug #60952] NSTimeZone fail to deal with tzfile v2+

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #60952 (project gnustep):

I restructured the code changes, to retain the existing behavior for absolute
time zones, and to fix some memory issues and remove unused code etc while
getting the code to work on my primary dev system (CentOS).

I noticed that Tests/base/NSTimeZone/Paris.tzdbv1 was not a type1 time zone
file, so I replaced the test files with an ancient file I found (the oldest
one for Paris in the GNUstep repository) and the current system time zone file
for Paris from CentOS.  Maybe these are not the best files to use for testing
though?

Looking at the code for handling the TZ style string in tzdb.h, I'm not sure
it actually works properly.

Please could you take a look and let me know what you think.  The changes are
all in a new branch at https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base/tree/nstimezone
