Bug description:IntlDateFormatter class does not support Asia/Kathmandu

Description:
------------
The version of PHP is 5.3.2

We are using the IntlDateFormatter library and have noticed that if we pass
as timezone 'Asia/Katmandu' it works correctly and resolves it to Nepal
time, however it does not recognize 'Asia/Kathmandu' as a valid Olsen
timezone.

According to this page (http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.asia.php) both
spellings are recognized by PHP and according to this page
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tzdata-versions-138805.html)
Java has included a change from Katmandu to Kathmandu in its 1.4 release.

Will Asia/Kathmandu be supported by this library?

Thanks

Test script:
---------------
Just create a new instance of the IntlDateFormatter class, and pass in
"Asia/Kathmandu" as its last parameter (the timezone). By comparison, try
also passing in "Asia/Katmandu".

Expected result:
----------------
As a temporary workaround we have put in a little hack so we test the value
of the timezone and if it's equal to 'Asia/Kathmandu' we replace it with
'Asia/Katmandu'. But ideally the library should support both spellings!
