Subject: [9fans] /adm/timezone files

According to ctime(2) and /sys/src/libc/9sys/ctime.c, files under
/adm/timezone should have at least 4 fields followed by a newline,
just like inferno's counterparts (/locale/*).  As distributed,
files with no summer time specifications, such as
/adm/timezone/Japan, have only 2 fields, so the parsing fails and
the timezone defaults to GMT. The fix is as follows.
