Raised "The file '/usr/share/zoneinfo/timeconfig' does not start with the expected header."

The Slackware Linux distribution includes a script named timeconfig inside the zoneinfo directory.

That file is not being excluded by #load_timezone_index: https://github.com/tzinfo/tzinfo/blob/master/lib/tzinfo/zoneinfo_data_source.rb#L344

So, when doing this:

TZInfo::Timezone.all.find_all {|tz| tz.current_period.abbreviation == :some_abbrev }

will raise this error:

TZInfo::InvalidTimezoneIdentifier: The file '/usr/share/zoneinfo/timeconfig' does not start with the expected header.

I can send a PR if you are ok to excluding that file. Thanks.

Thank you for the report.

I've committed a change to ignore the timeconfig symlink.

The fix for this issue has now been released in version 1.2.3.
