Title:
  Chile abolishes Daylight Saving Time

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Starting this year Chile won't have a DST any more. Source:
  https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/chile-abolishes-dst-2015.html

  tzdata still contains the information that Chile will switch from
  UTC-3 to UTC-4 on April 27th 00:00 2015. At least that is what happens
  if I do some tests in R:

  as.POSIXct("2014-04-26 23:00", "America/Santiago") + 0 * 60 * 60
  "2014-04-26 23:00:00 CLST"

  as.POSIXct("2014-04-26 23:00", "America/Santiago") + 1 * 60 * 60
  "2014-04-26 23:00:00 CLT"

  as.POSIXct("2014-04-26 23:00", "America/Santiago") + 2 * 60 * 60
  "2014-04-27 CLT"
