Removed timezone_-5.5.

There is no UTC-5:30 zone, and the file itself is a misnamed copy of
timezone_-9.5.png.

Regenerated the map background and overlays

51. By David Shea on 2015-05-01

Added some instructions for how to generate new PNGs

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this, but it's reproducible.
Also added a description of the other data files in src/data.

Cleaned and updated the time zones SVG.

The SVG map had some issues, and had not been updated in at least a
decade.

Removed layers:
  - s0, which appears to be a scratch layer
  - edit, same
  - tz_export, which looks incomplete and should really be generated
    from the other layers
  - tz_color_codes, ditto
  - bg, since it doesn't contain anything and it was messing up the page
    size

Also removed an extra Iceland that was in layer m1 for some reason.

Added new layers for half and quarter hour zones, except -04:30 which
was already there.

Retraced portions of the map using the August 2013 time zone map from
the CIA World Factbook, which is in the public domain. Also made some
additional changes not included in the CIA map. The larger changes
include:

  - Updated time zones in Brazil for changes made in 2008 and 2012
  - Updated the Russian time zones, mostly visible on the eastern end
  - Moved Sri Lanka from +06:00 to +05:30, changed in 2006
  - Moved Chile from -04:00 to -03:00 after their change to year-round
    DST in 2015.

Remove the color codes map.

cc.png is used to map locations on a map (usually mouse clicks) to time zone
offsets. However, in every case except one, the offset set by get_loc_for_xy()
is immediately overwritten by set_location(). For the exception case
(cc_timezone_map_get_timezone_at_coords), having the selected_offset property
change during the call is an unexpected side effect.

Furthermore, the data in the color_codes array was not entirely in sync with
the data in cc.png (e.g., no color_codes entry for UTC+14), and the borders
between zones in cc.png are feathered instead of being zones of a single pixel
value, so clicks around the borders would result in no zone being selected. If
cc.png is ever revived, it needs to be regenerated from the SVG source.
