[Bug 1734967] [NEW] tzdata info for WGT/WGST broken

[Thomas M Steenholdt]

Public bug reported:

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.
