/**
 * A time-zone ID, such as {@code Europe/Paris}.
 * <p>
 * A {@code ZoneId} is used to identify the rules used to convert between
 * an {@link Instant} and a {@link LocalDateTime}.
 * There are two distinct types of ID:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Fixed offsets - a fully resolved offset from UTC/Greenwich, that uses
 *  the same offset for all local date-times
 * <li>Geographical regions - an area where a specific set of rules for finding
 *  the offset from UTC/Greenwich apply
 * </ul>
 * Most fixed offsets are represented by {@link ZoneOffset}.
 * Calling {@link #normalized()} on any {@code ZoneId} will ensure that a
 * fixed offset ID will be represented as a {@code ZoneOffset}.
 * <p>
 * The actual rules, describing when and how the offset changes, are defined by {@link ZoneRules}.
 * This class is simply an ID used to obtain the underlying rules.
 * This approach is taken because rules are defined by governments and change
 * frequently, whereas the ID is stable.
 * <p>
 * The distinction has other effects. Serializing the {@code ZoneId} will only send
 * the ID, whereas serializing the rules sends the entire data set.
 * Similarly, a comparison of two IDs only examines the ID, whereas
 * a comparison of two rules examines the entire data set.
 *
 * <h2>Time-zone IDs</h2>
 * The ID is unique within the system.
 * There are three types of ID.
 * <p>
 * The simplest type of ID is that from {@code ZoneOffset}.
 * This consists of 'Z' and IDs starting with '+' or '-'.
 * <p>
 * The next type of ID are offset-style IDs with some form of prefix,
 * such as 'GMT+2' or 'UTC+01:00'.
 * The recognised prefixes are 'UTC', 'GMT' and 'UT'.
 * The offset is the suffix and will be normalized during creation.
 * These IDs can be normalized to a {@code ZoneOffset} using {@code normalized()}.
 * <p>
 * The third type of ID are region-based IDs. A region-based ID must be of
 * two or more characters, and not start with 'UTC', 'GMT', 'UT' '+' or '-'.
 * Region-based IDs are defined by configuration, see {@link ZoneRulesProvider}.
 * The configuration focuses on providing the lookup from the ID to the
 * underlying {@code ZoneRules}.
 * <p>
 * Time-zone rules are defined by governments and change frequently.
 * There are a number of organizations, known here as groups, that monitor
 * time-zone changes and collate them.
 * The default group is the IANA Time Zone Database (TZDB).
 * Other organizations include IATA (the airline industry body) and Microsoft.
 * <p>
 * Each group defines its own format for the region ID it provides.
 * The TZDB group defines IDs such as 'Europe/London' or 'America/New_York'.
 * TZDB IDs take precedence over other groups.
 * <p>
 * It is strongly recommended that the group name is included in all IDs supplied by
 * groups other than TZDB to avoid conflicts. For example, IATA airline time-zone
 * region IDs are typically the same as the three letter airport code.
 * However, the airport of Utrecht has the code 'UTC', which is obviously a conflict.
 * The recommended format for region IDs from groups other than TZDB is 'group~region'.
 * Thus if IATA data were defined, Utrecht airport would be 'IATA~UTC'.
 *
 * <h2>Serialization</h2>
 * This class can be serialized and stores the string zone ID in the external form.
 * The {@code ZoneOffset} subclass uses a dedicated format that only stores the
 * offset from UTC/Greenwich.
 * <p>
 * A {@code ZoneId} can be deserialized in a Java Runtime where the ID is unknown.
 * For example, if a server-side Java Runtime has been updated with a new zone ID, but
 * the client-side Java Runtime has not been updated. In this case, the {@code ZoneId}
 * object will exist, and can be queried using {@code getId}, {@code equals},
 * {@code hashCode}, {@code toString}, {@code getDisplayName} and {@code normalized}.
 * However, any call to {@code getRules} will fail with {@code ZoneRulesException}.
 * This approach is designed to allow a {@link ZonedDateTime} to be loaded and
 * queried, but not modified, on a Java Runtime with incomplete time-zone information.
 * <p>
 * This is a <a href="{@docRoot}/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>
 * class; programmers should treat instances that are
 * {@linkplain #equals(Object) equal} as interchangeable and should not
 * use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may
 * occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.
 * The {@code equals} method should be used for comparisons.
 *
 * @implSpec
 * This abstract sealed class permits two implementations, both of which are immutable and
 * thread-safe. One implementation models region-based IDs, the other is {@code ZoneOffset}
 * modelling offset-based IDs. This difference is visible in serialization.
 *
 * @since 1.8
 * @sealedGraph
