Tonga switched to standard time in 1945, not 1901

(Thanks to Michael Deckers.)  Also, update its LMT before 1945,
and adjust geographical coordinates to match.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* australasia (Pacific/Tongatapu): Standard time adopted
1945-09-10, not 1901.  Subtract 8 seconds from LMT before that.
* zone.tab, zone1970.tab (Pacific/Tongatapu): Adjust coordinates
to match adjusted LMT.
