Fix for issue# 15376. Get time zone conversions at runtime.

It's proven to be a maintenance problem to maintain the time zone
conversions between the IANA TZ database names and the Windows time zone
names in std.datetime. So, rather than compiling them in, this provides
a way to get them at runtime (which will also make it so in the future,
older releases can work properly on up-to-date Windows boxes, which is
not the case currently with regards to time zone conversions). The
current conversion functions can be deprecated after parseTZConversions
has been out for a release (so that it's possible for users to compile
their code for two releases in a row without getting deprecation
messages).
