JDK-8339637 - (tz) Update Timezone Data to 2024b
Description
Recently released tzdata2024b 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. 
---
Those "%z"s need to be replaced with the GMT format at runtime, otherwise they will appear literally.
