Replace some zones with links when that doesn't lose useful info.

This is like the 2013-09-02 change, but for the Pacific this time.
* antarctica (Antarctica/DumontDUrville):
* australasia (Pacific/Tahiti, Pacific/Saipan, Pacific/Majuro)
(Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Palau, Pacific/Funafuti)
(Pacific/Midway, Pacific/Wake, Pacific/Wallis):
Remove zone, replacing each with a link to a region that has had
the same UTC offset since 1970.  This removes data that were
largely invented, either by us or almost surely by Shanks or his
sources.
* asia, australasia, northamerica: Create links accordingly.
* NEWS: Document this.

@ -58,6 +58,15 @@ Unreleased, experimental changes
UTC+6 and not UTC+8. (Thanks to Luther Ma and to Alois Treindl;
Treindl sent helpful translations of two papers by Guo Qingsheng.)
Some zones have been turned into links, when they differed from existing
zones only for older UTC offsets where the data were likely invented.
These changes affect UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only. This is
similar to the change in release 2013e, except this time for the Pacific.
The affected zones are: Antarctica/DumontDUrville, Pacific/Chuuk,
Pacific/Funafuti, Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Midway, Pacific/Palau,
Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Saipan, Pacific/Tahiti, Pacific/Wake, and
Pacific/Wallis.
Asia/Shanghai's pre-standard-time UT offset has been changed from
8:05:57 to 8:05:43, the location of Xujiahui Observatory. Its
transition to standard time has been changed from 1928 to 1901.
