Ensure ParseTzFile() closes the input file after failing.

We hadn't noticed this because (a) few people feed invalid
timezone abbreviation files to the server, and (b) in typical
scenarios guc.c would throw ereport(ERROR) and then transaction
abort handling would silently clean up the leaked file reference.
However, it was possible to observe file leakage warnings if one
breaks an already-active abbreviation file, because guc.c does
not throw ERROR when loading supposedly-validated settings during
session start or SIGHUP processing.

Report and fix by Kyotaro Horiguchi (cosmetic adjustments by me)
