$MYSQL_TZINFO_TO_SQL works by truncating tables. Truncation is an
operation that cannot be done in-place and therefore is fundamentally
incompatible with alter_algorithm='INPLACE'. As a result, we override
the default alter_algorithm setting in tztime.cc to
alter_algorithm='COPY' so that timezones can be loaded regardless
of the previously set alter_algorithm.
