MFV of 283077,tzdata2015d

Update to tzdata2015d:

Release 2015d - 2015-04-24 08:09:46 -0700

  Changes affecting future time stamps

    Egypt will not observe DST in 2015 and will consider canceling it
    permanently.  For now, assume no DST indefinitely.
    (Thanks to Ahmed Nazmy and Tim Parenti.)

  Change affecting past and future time zone abbreviations

    The abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian standard and daylight times
    have been changed from HAST/HADT to HST/HDT, as per US Government
    Printing Office style.  This affects only America/Adak since 1983,
    as America/Honolulu was already using the new style.

-# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-08):
-# For now, guess that later spring and fall transitions will use
-# 2014's rules, and guess that Egypt will switch to standard time at
-# 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and back to DST at 00:00 the
-# first Friday after Ramadan.  To implement this,
-# transition dates for 2015 through 2037 were determined by running
-# the following program under GNU Emacs 24.4, with the results integrated
-# by hand into the table below.  Ramadan again intrudes on the guessed
-# DST starting in 2038, but that's beyond our somewhat-arbitrary cutoff.

+# For now, assume DST will be canceled.  Any resumption would likely
+# use different rules anyway.
