patch for date docs - mention that %p (am/pm) is often blank

[matthew arnison]

some programmers are writing dodgy code because they don't realise that
12 hour am/pm format is not supported in many locales. so this patch is
part of an attempt to improve the docs. i am also contributing patches to
the strftime docs.

for more info, please see, especially the later messages:

cheers,
m.
