Jason St. John 0ffa154b5b Correct word usage of "timezone" in "Documentation" directory
"timezone" is two words, not one (i.e. "time zone" is correct).

Correct this in these files:
-- date-formats.txt
-- git-blame.txt
-- git-cvsimport.txt
-- git-fast-import.txt
-- git-svn.txt
-- gitweb.conf.txt
-- rev-list-options.txt

DATE FORMATS
------------
The GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variables
ifdef::git-commit[]
and the `--date` option
endif::git-commit[]
support the following date formats:
Git internal format::
It is `<unix timestamp> <time zone offset>`, where `<unix
timestamp>` is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.
`<time zone offset>` is a positive or negative offset from UTC.
For example CET (which is 2 hours ahead UTC) is `+0200`.
RFC 2822::
The standard email format as described by RFC 2822, for example
`Thu, 07 Apr 2005 22:13:13 +0200`.
ISO 8601::
Time and date specified by the ISO 8601 standard, for example
`2005-04-07T22:13:13`. The parser accepts a space instead of the
`T` character as well.
+
NOTE: In addition, the date part is accepted in the following formats:
`YYYY.MM.DD`, `MM/DD/YYYY` and `DD.MM.YYYY`.
