Anybody want to check for Windows timezone updates?

src/timezone/README mentions

When there has been a new release of Windows (probably including Service
Packs), the list of matching timezones need to be updated. Run the
script in src/tools/win32tzlist.pl on a Windows machine running this new
release and apply any new timezones that it detects. Never remove any
mappings in case they are removed in Windows, since we still need to
match properly on the old version.

It's been some years since this was last done (a79a68562, looks like).
Anybody want to check if updates are needed?

Thanks! That was a bit tedious --- I suppose it's not quite worth
automating further, but I did make some effort to remove the cross-version
formatting hazards in that table.

Could you verify that there are no complaints now with HEAD?
I might've fat-fingered something.

That might explain why it gets updated not so often. Forcing errors with a
Spanish installation, so please forget about the description, the new
format is more consistent with findtimezone.c:

{
/* (UTC+04:30) Kabul */
"Hora estßndar de Afganistßn", "Hora de verano de
Afganistßn",
"FIXME"
},

Nothing gets reported with current HEAD.
