Arrange to install a "posixrules" entry in our timezone database, so that
...
POSIX-style timezone specs that don't exactly match any database entry will
be treated as having correct USA DST rules. Also, document that this can
be changed if you want to use some other DST rules with a POSIX zone spec.
We could consider changing localtime.c's TZDEFRULESTRING, but since that
facility can only deal with one DST transition rule, it seems fairly useless
now; might as well just plan to override it using a "posixrules" entry.
Backpatch as far as 8.0. There isn't much we can do in 7.x ... either your
libc gets it right, or it doesn't.

standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,

Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.
