Title:
  Test for sortedness of all_timezones and common_timezones is missing

Status in pytz:
  New

Bug description:
  Fedora replaces the hard-coded list of timezones with one dynamically
  read from /usr/share/zoneinfo (cf.
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pytz/blob/master/f/pytz-
  zoneinfo.patch).  This breaks the promise in python-tz's README.txt
  that all_timezones and common_timezones are sorted, i. e. for example
  on Fedora 25:

  | [tim at passepartout ~]$ python2 -c 'from pytz import all_timezones, common_timezones; print all_timezones == sorted(all_timezones), common_timezones == sorted(common_timezones)'
  | False False
  | [tim at passepartout ~]$ python3 -c 'from pytz import all_timezones, common_timezones; print(all_timezones == sorted(all_timezones), common_timezones == sorted(common_timezones))'
  | False False
  | [tim at passepartout ~]$

  This is not python-tz's fault, but it would be helpful if the test
  suite would assert that all_timezones == sorted(all_timezones) &&
  common_timezones == sorted(common_timezones) so that this becomes a
  regression easier to detect.
