Remove manual addition of "Etc" timezones

All of the fixed timezones that were added can be found in the file
"etcetera" from the IANA website. Even though we could support these
timezones I think we shouldn't as they are deemed historical along with
"backward".

Additionally, the "Etc/GMT(+|-)\d+" can be confusing as their labels
("GMT+1") have the opposite offset (-3600 seconds).

See ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/etcetera for details.
