Title:
  Update to 2016c

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The 2016c release of the tz code and data is available. Its most urgent 
  change is for Asia/Baku, where the update takes effect this weekend.

  This release reflects the following changes, which were either 
  circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or 
  administrative changes:

     Changes affecting future time stamps

       Azerbaijan no longer observes DST.  (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)

       Chile reverts from permanent to seasonal DST.  (Thanks to Juan
       Correa for the heads-up, and to Tim Parenti for corrections.)
       Guess that future transitions are August's and May's second
       Saturdays at 24:00 mainland time.  Also, call the period from
       2014-09-07 through 2016-05-14 daylight saving time instead of
       standard time, as that seems more appropriate now.

     Changes affecting past time stamps

       Europe/Kaliningrad and Europe/Vilnius changed from +03/+04 to
       +02/+03 on 1989-03-26, not 1991-03-31.  Europe/Volgograd changed
       from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on 1988-03-27, not 1989-03-26.
       (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

     Changes to commentary

       Several updates and URLs for historical and proposed Russian changes.
       (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov, Matt Johnson, and Alexander Krivenyshev.)
