glibc: standard date/time format patch

[Eduardo Pérez Ureta <eperez at it dot uc3m dot es>]

Hi,

There's a confusion what the standard date/time format is, in glibc.

The standard date/time format is ISO 8601:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html

This patch fixes glibc to use ISO 8601 as standard date/time format in
the C locale, as the American date/time format is not the standard one.

The American date/time format can still be used in the American locale.

This fix will help people read dates in the C locale with the advantages
of this date/time format.

                Eduardo
