      Update TZUpdater readme.
      (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tzupdater-readme-136440.html#issues)

      Known issue:

      Since the 2018e tzdata release, the TZUpdater tool will need to use the
      rearguard format of tzdata provided by IANA. Further information can be
      found via:
         - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8195595
         - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212684

      The rearguard format of tzdata is provided for compatibility purposes.
      The tz-announce mails contain links to the relevant rearguard formats
      which should be used with the TZUpdater tool. Use the '-l' feature of
      the tool to specify which tzdata bundle should be used.
      e.g. java -jar tzupdater.jar -l https://web.cs.ucla.edu/~eggert/tz/release/2019a/tzdata2019a-rearguard.tar.gz
