apr_date's functions corrupt the caller's data.

[Stas Bekman]

apr_date's apr_date_parse_rfc function modifies the date string in the 
caller's namespace and corrupts it. I didn't test all cases but only the 
accepted formats, for the .h docs:

# before : parse_rfc: Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49 GMT
# after  : parse_rfc: Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49 00T
# before : parse_rfc: Sun, 6 Nov 94 08:49 GMT
# after  : parse_rfc: Sun, 6 Nov 94 08:49 00T
# before : parse_rfc: Sun, 06 Nov 94 8:49:37 GMT
# after  : parse_rfc: Sun, 06 Nov 9408:49:37 GMT
# before : parse_rfc: Sun, 6 Nov 94 8:49:37 GMT
# after  : parse_rfc: Sun, 6 Nov 9408:49:37 GMT
that happens in all cases similar to this:
        timstr[6] = '0';
This code also could corrupt the data:
        if ((date = strchr(date, ' ')) == NULL)   /* Find space after 
weekday */
            return APR_DATE_BAD;

this one happens in _http version as well.
I've tried walking through the code with gdb, but it looks like code 
gets optimized in a weird way, so I see completely bogus values of date 
while stepping through it.
