Building --with-system-tzdata and the latest tzdata 2024b fails the
regression tests for me (see attached .diffs). This seems to be because
of [1], which changed the way "PST8PDT" is handled. This is the timezone
that the regression tests are run with.

From 2024b on, "PST8PDT" is the same as "America/Los_Angeles", so by
changing the regression tests to use the latter as the default, we're
getting consistent output on at least 2024a and 2024b.

Patch attached.

Best,

Wolfgang
