File coreutils-date-avoid-crash-in-TZ-parsing.patch of Package coreutils

Port upstream fix for date(1), to be removed with v8.23:

date could crash or go into an infinite loop when parsing a malformed TZ="".
  [bug introduced with the --date='TZ="" ..' parsing feature in coreutils-5.3.0]

This patch consists of 2 upstream commits:

http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=a10acfb1d2
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=a4faa6a0a3

While the former commit in gnulib actually fixes the issue (and adds a test
there), the latter commit in upstream coreutils pulls in that change from
gnulib and adds a test for the previously crashing date(1) command.

parse-datetime: fix crash or infloop in TZ="" parsing
    
    This was reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/16872
    from the coreutils command: date -d 'TZ="""'
    
    The infinite loop for this case was present since the
    initial TZ="" parsing support in commit de95bdc2 29-10-2004.
    This was changed to a crash or heap corruption depending
    on the platform with commit 2e3e4195 18-01-2010.
    
    * lib/parse-datetime.y (parse_datetime): Break out of the
    TZ="" parsing loop once the second significant " is found.
    Also skip over any subsequent whitespace to be consistent
    with the non TZ= case.
    * tests/test-parse-datetime.c: Add test cases for TZ="" parsing.
