[Bug 2008076] [NEW] Drop /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix and move /usr/share/zoneinfo/right into tzdata-right

[Benjamin Drung]

Public bug reported:

The tzdata package ships /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/ (for Coordinated Universal Time) and /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/ (for International Atomic Time). The files in /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/ are identical to their counterpart in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. The tzdata package converts the
configured posix/* and right/* timezones to their unprefixed variant on every package upgrade (e.g. it changes "posix/Europe/Berlin" to "Europe/Berlin").

Drop /usr/share/zoneinfo/right from tzdata and move
/usr/share/zoneinfo/right into separate tzdata-right package.
