glibc/timezone/README
Paul Eggert e1195b207c Update timezone/README
* timezone/version: New file, also taken from tzcode2018i.
* timezone/README: Reword so that people needn't paw through
old ChangeLog files to see which version we're using, a process
that is error-prone.  Update an obsolescent URL.
