doc: fix somewhat ambiguous date format representation

Browse Source 
* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation): Remove @var{...} usage,
as that capitalizes in the representation and thus somewhat
ambiguates the format wrt Month and Minute.  This also avoids
a syntax check failure about redundant capitalization in @var{}.
