    contrib/tzdata: correct DST in Fiji
    
    Direct commit to stable/11.
    
    Unfortunately, there is still no clear consensus on the tz mailing list
    about some of the changes introduced by tzdata 2021b and later releases.
    Pending consensus, only merge the recently announced DST transition date
    for Fiji and corrections to commentary from tzdata 2021d.  This corrects
    future timestamps in Fiji.

+# Fiji, prime minister Josaia Voreqe "Frank" Bainimarama announced the
+# suspension of DST for the 2021/2022 season: "Given that we are in the process
+# of readjusting in the midst of so many changes, we will also put Daylight
+# Savings Time on hold for this year. It will also make the reopening of

+# Assume for now that DST will resume with the recent pre-2020 rules for the
