During the install process tzsetup asks a question like
Does the abbreviation `EDT' look reasonable?
The installer asks lots of questions, some that relate to the previous
screen or topic and some that do not. A new user installed FreeBSD for
the first time and was confused by this question, not realizing that it
was asking whether the abbreviation is correct for the selected
timezone.

Many sysadmins prefer to configure their systems to UTC and it's a
reasonable default when installing, making it easier to get a usable
system by just hitting <return> repeatidly.
Renumber UTC to 0 to preserve the finger memory of those selecting a
region by shortcut.

- assumption that single-zone countries do not have description
is no longer correct; do not try to optimize this case as it's
only going to make the code more confusing and we now have menus
with a single zone selection because of this
- remove the single-country continent short cut, it also only serves
to confuse users as we now have such a continent
- instead add a single-zone contry short cut (see above), now all
single-zone countries fall here
- use the #@ continent overrides that zone1970.tab introduces (this is
visible at least fixing Iceland being currently listed under Africa)
- add Arctic Ocean "continent" coming only from the overrides at the
moment
- update baseline with the changes

* Delete: remaining code for autosizing using BSDDIALOG_AUTOSIZE.
* Add: constants to delete magical numbers and to avoid unclear

* Delete: redundant 'conf.button.default_cancel=false', performed by
bsddialog_initconf().
* Add: a new function message_zoneinfo_file() to merge features.

the previous behavior actually is required for setting up configurations
in which the RTC is using UTC but the timezone is not. Still, besides
uniform error handling, that file should get the same treatment in the
non-interactive variants supported by tzsetup(8).
of the initial UTC dialog to install_zoneinfo() so that file gets the
necessary treatment also when that dialog is skipped via "-s", when
selecting UTC from the time zone menu or on the command-line instead
etc.
- Make the initial UTC dialog actually work by giving the relevant files
the necessary treatment and then exit when choosing "Yes" there instead
of moving on to the time zone menu regardless.
- Since r301131, /etc/localtime is also installed when selecting UTC in
interactive configurations (which previously meant only via the time
zone menu, though). Thus, the code added in r230298 which treats a
NULL zone file name as UTC and removes /etc/localtime in that case can
go again.
- Consistently refer to "could not delete" (as chosen by the oldest such
code in here) when unlink(2) fails instead of a to mixture of "delete"
and "unlink" in error messages.
Hide dialog specific code behind HAVE_DIALOG. It allows to build a stripped

If tzsetup UTC is run then it successfully configured the system for UTC
including installing /etc/localtime however if the user ran just tzsetup
for interactive configuration and select UTC no /etc/localtime was installed
which resulted in failures for utilities which require said file.
Change set_zone_utc to call install_zoneinfo("UTC") to ensure that
/etc/localtime is created for interactive UTC selection.
Users who have previously run tzsetup in interactive mode and select UTC
can install the missing /etc/localtime by running tzsetup -r.
Also correct static miss-match for set_zone_utc.

Previously, the code prefixes the chroot path to actual file paths to
simulate the effect. This, however, will not work for tzset(3) which
expects the current system have a working set of timezone data files,

This changeset simplifies the handling of paths and use an actual
