Most of Greenland stops observing winter time after March 2023,
so its daylight saving time becomes standard time. This affects
America/Nuuk and America/Scoresbysund. (Thanks to Jürgen Appel.)

# For now, assume that this applies simultaneously to Ittoqqortoormiit
# (currently -01) as well as to Nuuk (currently -03), and that
# Danmarkshavn and Thule are unaffected since they are not using EU
# rules anyway and some of the remarks were about EU rules.
