Fix bogus logic for zic -P option.

The quick hack I added to zic to dump out currently-in-use timezone
abbreviations turns out to have a nasty bug: within each zone, it was
printing the last "struct ttinfo" to be *defined*, not necessarily the
last one in use. This was mainly a problem in zones that had changed the
meaning of their zone abbreviation (to another GMT offset value) and later
changed it back.

As a result of this error, we'd missed out updating the tznames/ files
for some jurisdictions that have changed their zone abbreviations since
the tznames/ files were originally created. I'll address the missing data
updates in a separate commit.
