Re-enable icu-timezone-data by default

icu-timezone-data was enabled before but reverted due to a perf issue.
(sunspider/date-format-totfe regressed; crbug.com/769706 ).

However, my in-Chrome test of the same test [1] shows that there's virtually
no perf difference. See https://goo.gl/GX1jt6 .

This will introduce a new behavior on POSIX(-like) platforms. Timezone
names inside parentheses after GMT offset will not be 3-4 letter
abbreviation any longer. They'll be human-readable names in the current
default locale. This matches the current Windows behavior.

new Date(2017, 5, 22).toString()
new Date(2017, 11, 22).toString()

Current:

Thu Jun 22 2017 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
Fri Dec 22 2017 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)

New:

Thu Jun 22 2017 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
Fri Dec 22 2017 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)

This CL will be followed by
