date: reinstate the --iso-8601 (-I) option
We deprecated and undocumented the --iso-8601 (-I) option mostly because date could not parse that particular format. Now that it can, it's time to restore the documentation. * src/date.c (usage): Document it. * doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Reinstate documentation. Reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski in http://bugs.gnu.org/7444.
