Motivation for this change

Apply #102946 to staging-next.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The timezone dumps have switched to a "slim" format since 2020b.
This has broken various packages, including
 - go 1.4 (used for bootstrapping)
 - haskellPackages.tz
 - libical

The "fat" format can still be generated, as this commit shows.
It seems to create files that are *mostly* the slim versions with
some more data attached.
