[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] package/zic: bump version to 2016j

[Martin Bark]

Thomas,

The release of the timezone database is split into 2 files. One is tzcode
that we use to build zic for the host, the other is tzdata which contains
the the actual timezone data needed for the target.  When be extract tzcode
to build zic we have not extracted tzdata (there is no need to), however,
recent changes to tzcode means VERSION_DEPS in Makefile depends on files
that are only in tzdata.  This breaks building zic when only using tzcode
as we do.

The patch removes the dependency on VERSION_DEPS because it's not necessary
for us.  We are building released code so there is no need for dependencies
to check if the version number needs updating which is clearly only needed
for development.

Hope that makes sense.  Sorry for the typos,  I'll resubmit with them
corrected

Thanks

Martin
