date: use extended format timezone for --iso-8601
* src/date.c (main): Use %:z rather than %z with --iso-8601 as the standard states to consistently use extended format. Note either format can be parsed by date. * tests/misc/date.pl: Adjust accordingly. * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Clarify that "iso" time styles are only similar to ISO-8601. (ls invocation): Likewise. (date invocation): Adjust the comment stating that only --rfc-3339 output can be parsed by date(1). * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Reported at http://bugs.debian.org/799479
