Make pg_interpret_timezone_abbrev() check sp->defaulttype too.
This omission caused it to not recognize the furthest-back zone
abbreviation when working with timezone data compiled with relatively
recent zic (2018f or newer). Older versions of zic produced a dummy
DST transition at the Big Bang, so that the oldest abbreviation could
always be found in the sp->types[] array; but newer versions don't do
that, so that we must examine defaulttype as well as the types[] array
to be sure of seeing all the abbreviations.
While this has been broken for six or so years, we'd managed not
to notice for two reasons: (1) many platforms are still using
ancient zic for compatibility reasons, so that the issue did not
manifest in builds using --with-system-tzdata; (2) the oldest
zone abbreviation is almost always "LMT", which we weren't
supporting anyway (but an upcoming patch will accept that).
While at it, update pg_next_dst_boundary() to use sp->defaulttype
as the time type for non-DST zones and times before the oldest
DST transition. The existing code there predates upstream's
invention of the sp->defaulttype field, and its heuristic for
finding the oldest time type has now been subsumed into the
code that sets sp->defaulttype.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm not currently aware
of any visible consequences of this bug in released branches.
Per report from Aleksander Alekseev and additional investigation.
