date,touch: test and document large TZ security issue

Add a test for CVE-2017-7476 which was fixed in gnulib at:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=94e01571

* tests/misc/date-tz.sh: Add a new test which overwrites enough
of the heap to trigger a segfault, even without ASAN enabled.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

** Bug fixes
date and touch no longer overwrite the heap with large
user specified TZ values (CVE-2017-7476).
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.27]
dd status=progress now just counts seconds; e.g., it outputs "6 s"
consistently rather than sometimes outputting "6.00001 s".
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
