Yet another preparation for upgrading the time zone data to 2024b, which
introduced a new abbreviation format "%z". The update includes:
...
The main source files' time zone abbreviations now use %z,
supported by zic since release 2015f and used in vanguard form
since release 2022b. For example, America/Sao_Paulo now contains
the zone continuation line "-3:00 Brazil %z", which is less error
prone than the old "-3:00 Brazil -03/-02". This does not change
the represented data: the generated TZif files are unchanged.
Rearguard form still avoids %z, to support obsolescent parsers.
...
Also fixed the logic to retrieve the linked tz name that is chaining.
