[issue40683] Beta release does not distribute zoneinfo or test_zoneinfo

No worries Łukasz, I figured it would be worth bringing up because normally the releases aren't so broken that they aren't usable in the common case. That said, this won't break any *existing* code, it'll just prevent people on Linux machines from using zoneinfo.

I don't think waiting 3 weeks is a big deal. I'm planning to release a backport soon anyway, and I expect people probably won't adopt new-in-3.9 modules without a backport during the beta period *anyway*, since they can't deploy any code using that feature to prod.

I'm going to resolve this issue. Thanks for the quick response Łukasz and for the quick review Victor!
