Jungshik Shin 28ef8dc700 Revert "Enable icu-timezone-data by default"
This reverts commit d9a25842d3.

Reason for revert: 

I'm reverting this CL for a few reasons. #2 is the most significant and I should have thought of that before making a switch. Sorry for that.   

1) perf-regression: http://crbug.com/769706
2) http://crbug.com/612010 : ICU timezone update is not propagated to zygote process so that new tabs will hold on to an old timezone even after a timezone change on Linux and Chrome OS. 
3) http://crbug.com/754053 : OS timezone detection issues on macOS 10.13, Ubutu 16, RHEL 7, SuSe Linux 12 or newer. ; it's being fixed. So, it actually ok.  
4) http://crbug.com/771868 : timezone wrong in gmail: If it's due to #3, we're fine because it's fixed. If not, we need to look more.

Original change's description:
> Enable icu-timezone-data by default
> 
> This will introduce a new behavior on POSIX(-like) platforms. Timezone
> names inside parentheses after GMT offset will not be 3-4 letter
> abbreviation any longer. They'll be human-readable names in the current
> default locale. This matches the current Windows behavior.
