[LEAPSECS] private smear goes public

There is a plan to distribute a leap second file as part of the time zone 
data base.

It's in Debian and Ubuntu:
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list
and FreeBSD:
  /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list
Looks like they packaged it with ntp rather than zone info.

I don't see it in Fedora.

There is one in Raspbian, but it's an old version.
