Anders Kaseorg 4ca66e7278 timezone: Correct common_timezones dictionary.
The changes are as follows:

• Fix one day offset in all western zones.
• Correct CST from -64800 to -21600 and CDT from -68400 to -18000.
• Disambiguate PST in favor of -28000 over +28000.
• Add GMT, UTC, WET, previously excluded for being at offset 0.
• Add ACDT, AEDT, AKST, MET, MSK, NST, NZDT, PKT, which the previous
  code did not find.
• Remove numbered abbreviations -12, …, +14, which are unnecessary.
• Remove MSD and PKST, which are no longer used.

Hardcode the dict and verify it with a test, so that future
discrepancies won’t go silently unnoticed.

Anders Kaseorg 41f509170b users: Canonicalize the timezone identifier.
While working on shifting toward native browser time zone APIs
(#16451), it was found that all but very recent Chrome and Node
versions reject certain legacy timezone aliases like US/Pacific
(https://crbug.com/364374).

For now, we only canonicalize the timezone property returned in user
objects and not the timezone setting itself.
