Release Notes
Briefly:
Revert most 2021b changes to 'backward'.
Fix 'zic -b fat' bug in pre-1970 32-bit data.
Fix two Link line typos.
Distribute SECURITY file.
This release is intended as a bugfix release, to fix compatibility
problems and typos reported since 2021b was released.
Changes to Link directives
Revert almost all of 2021b's changes to the 'backward' file,
by moving Link directives back to where they were in 2021a.
Although 'zic' doesn't care which source file contains a Link
directive, some downstream uses ran into trouble with the move.
(Problem reported by Stephen Colebourne for Joda-Time.)
Fix typo that linked Atlantic/Jan_Mayen to the wrong location
(problem reported by Chris Walton).
Fix 'backzone' typo that linked America/Virgin to the wrong
location (problem reported by Michael Deckers).
Changes to code
Fix a bug in 'zic -b fat' that caused old timestamps to be
mishandled in 32-bit-only readers (problem reported by Daniel
Fischer).
Changes to documentation
Distribute the SECURITY file (problem reported by Andreas Radke).
