date: output "-00" for indeterminate time zone
* NEWS: Document this behavior, which comes with recent Gnulib.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Formatting file timestamps, du invocation)
(Time conversion specifiers, Setting the time, Options for date):
Mention when -00 is output for numeric time zones.
Be more careful about Internet RFC numbers, ISO 8601, etc.
