The patch to use system default zoneinfo dir

Hello,

I faced an issue with the pytz software. The pytz ships own copy of the
zoneinfo data while the same data is already present in the base system in the
/usr/share/zoneinfo directory.

To reduce the maintenance cost of updating the zoneinfo database I created a
patch which changes the lookup order for zoneinfo data.

The issue has been already reported to the developers of pytz two years ago but
the feature is still undecided: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pytz/+bug/1373960

Please consider a patch to the devel/py-pytz which add an option to use OS
default zoneinfo.
