* backward: Move some links back to primary files.

This should allay concerns that the links would go away any time soon. Suggested by Stephen Colebourne in <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/019801.html>. Change "`" to "'"; these days, "`" and "'" are not symmetric. * antarctica (Antarctica/McMurdo): * europe (Europe/Jersey, Europe/Guernsey, Europe/Isle_of_Man) (Europe/Mariehamn, Europe/Busingen, Europe/Vatican, Europe/San_Marino) (Arctic/Longyearbyen, Europe/Ljubljana, Europe/Podgorica) (Europe/Sarajevo, Europe/Skopje, Europe/Zagreb, Europe/Bratislava): * northamerica (America/St_Barthelemy, America/Marigot): * southamerica (America/Lower_Princes, America/Kralendijk): Move here from 'backward'. This reverts a 2013-08-09 change.
