Add regression test coverage for non-default timezone abbreviation sets.
After further reflection about the mess cleaned up in commit 39b691f25, I decided the main bit of test coverage that was still missing was to check that the non-default abbreviation-set files we supply are usable. Add that. Back-patch to supported branches, just because it seems like a good idea to keep this all in sync.

the appropriate fix is to make it refer to a long-form zone name instead
of a fixed GMT offset.
+The core regression test suite does some simple validation of the zone
+data and abbreviations data (notably by checking that the pg_timezone_names
+and pg_timezone_abbrevs views don't throw errors). It's worth running it
