doc: mention nanosecond decimal points with --iso-8601=ns
Many people are used to seeing ISO 8601 dates using a period separating seconds and nanoseconds. This behavior seems to be worth documenting given the bug reports: https://bugs.gnu.org/63119 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1118970 * doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Mention that 'date --iso-8601=ns' uses a comma as a separator, following the preference of ISO 8601. Give an example of how to get an ISO 8601 date with a period separator.
