UNPATCH: calendar system

UNPATCH: calendar system

[Peter Stephenson]

I'm about (probably tomorrow morning) to commit a calendar function
system I've written based around the strftime builtin, with support for
sched for alerts.  There are a number of limitations but it seems now to
be basically working.  It's quite large, so I won't post it.

Even if you don't need the calendar system, the "age" function can
be used as a glob qualifier function to pick up files modified on
a specified date/time or between specified dates/times.

The functions live in Functions/Calendar and the manual in zshcalsys.1.
The functions are installed with the zsh/datetime module, since they
depend on it.

Done.  Comments welcome.  See the Bugs section at the end of
zshcalsys.1.

By the way, I added one fix outside this module: the file-list style can
be made to avoid trampling on an external "stat" programme by preloading
the stat builtin and disabling it:

zmodload zsh/stat
disable stat

This is also appropriate for the "age" glob qualifier function, which
also uses the stat builtin.
