description:
Update to tzdata2021e (with much of 2020b still omitted)
This includes 2021c (no changes) 2021d (Fiji change) 2021e (Palestine)

Fiji has cancelled summer time changes for 2021/2 summer.  Currently
assume it will be back in 2022/3.

Palestine ends summer time October 29 01:00 (rather than Oct 30).

Pacific/Enderbury is renamed to Pacific/Kanton and updated for
historic data (Pacific/Enderbury retained as a link for compat).

Historic timestamp fixes for Niue, Rarotonga, Tongatapu

+# In 1899 the Cook Islands celebrated Christmas twice to correct the calendar.
+# According to the old books, missionaries were unaware of
+# the International Date line, when they came from Sydney.

+# "651. The hour of the day shall in each of the islands included in the
+#  Cook Islands be determined in accordance with the meridian of that island."
+# so that local (mean?) time was still used in Rarotonga (and Niue) in 1915.

+#  determined as if that island were situated on the meridian one hundred and

+# This act does not state when it takes effect, so one has to assume it
