Revisions of timezone

- Unify SLE-15-SP6 and Factory packages (PED#8158).
  This is still related to bsc#1213470. We're applying this fix for
  SLE-15-SP6 too.  This changelog entry is meant to bring over the SLE
  information, so the same package can be used for both code streams.
- This patch has long been removed on Factory but was never mentioned
  explicitly, it was related to ticket bsc#1202310, a minor update to
  reflect Chile's DST change back in 2022.
  * bsc1202310.patch

- Use /bin/sh for tzselect. Used to require bash for the 'select'
  builtin but has a fallback meanwhile so no need for explicit bash
  anymore.

- Drop the timezone-java (bsc#1213470).
  After thorough consideration of possible problems that arise from
  having a timezone package specifically for the Java ecosystem,
  Fridrich Strba and I have decided to drop the package altogether.
  Doing so means the JDK will use its built-in timezone data that is
  updated quarterly, when refreshed JDK versions are released.
  While this does mean there could be situations where there is a bit
  of a mismatch between the 'timezone' package's data, and the data
  that is used by JDK, in practice the difference will be minimal and
  short-lived.
  So we've established this to be the best course of action.
- Remove _multibuild, not longer required.

- Update to 2024a:
  * Kazakhstan unifies on UTC+5 beginning 2024-03-01
  * Palestine springs forward a week later after Ramadan
  * zic no longer pretends to support indefinite-past DST
