Undo the effect of the 1997-07-12 change to date.c; it

broke "date -u MMDDhhmm" and it wasn't documented.
This reverts to the behavior of the 1996-01-03 patch.

(TZ_UTC0, MAYBE_SET_TZ_UTC0, set_tz): Remove.
(batch_convert): Don't futz with TZ.
(main): -u now parses all dates as UTC, not just some.
