Description:
------------
DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers returns [236] => Asia/Kolkata while DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations() returns [timezone_id] => Asia/Calcutta

I mean former is using "Kolkata" while later is "Calcutta". It is not supposed to be either one of the Kolkata or Calcutta for both of the functions?
