  tzdata info for WGT/WGST broken

Bug description:
  Using "America/Godthab" timezone, "WGT/WGST" is no longer displayed
  from date command but instead just "-03". Problem is evident in PHP
  applications too, which now think we're in Sao Paolo.

  This appears to have changed with latest tzdata update or perhaps in
  combination with change from DST.

  Same problem on 16.04, 17.10 and Debian 9.
