Parse based on tzfile #25

IANA databases are provided in two formats, human readable format and machine readable binary format (tzfile). Currently chrono-tz parse time zone from a human readable format. It would be better to parse from a tzfile, so that time zone info can be also loaded from a local tzfile like /etc/localtime.

In general I don't think 'it would be better to parse from a tzfile'. The text files provide more information and are a closer match to the rule as they are specified in human terms. At the end the result should be the same of course.

For loading a TZif file at runtime I'd like to close this as a duplicate of #73 (although this issue is older).
