[Bug 1951432] [NEW] fail to build from source

[Rodrigo Figueiredo Zaiden]

Public bug reported:

When building ICU package from source, Time Zones tests are failing, leading to a build failure.
This is happening because for Ubuntu, ICU uses tzdata package to retrieve Time Zone information
And, tzdata is updated but ICU tests are not.

The tests that are failing are:
1)TestAliasedNames, TestCanonicalID:
         TestAliasedNames {
         different at 8
         
      
         } ERRORS (1) in TestAliasedNames
      
         TestCanonicalID {
         FAIL: getCanonicalID(America/Coral_Harbour) returned America/Coral_Harbour expected:America/Cayman
         FAIL: getCanonicalID(America/Coral_Harbour) returned America/Coral_Harbour expected:America/Cayman
         FAIL: getCanonicalID(America/Coral_Harbour) returned America/Coral_Harbour expected:America/Cayman
      
         } ERRORS (3) in TestCanonicalID

-- These does not have a fix in upstream and need to be fixed (hirsute
and focal).

There are other issues that have fixes in upstream and need to be patched:
2) TestGenericAPI
         TestGenericAPI {
         FAIL: getTZDataVersion returned 2021a3
      
         } ERRORS (1) in TestGenericAPI

-- https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/commit/7561cb28 need to be patched
(hirsute and focal)

3) TestCanonicalID
         TestCanonicalID {
         FAIL: getCanonicalID(Australia/Hobart) returned Australia/Hobart expected:Australia/Currie
         FAIL: getCanonicalID(Australia/Tasmania) returned Australia/Hobart expected:Australia/Currie
