strftime and tests

[catawbasam]

Adds strftime() formatting by converting Date / Datetime to TmStruct and using TmStruct's strftime().

Hey @catawbasam, thanks for the PR. I'm actually planning on doing a lot of work with this in about 2 weeks, so I'm going to let this sit until then. Hopefully that's alright. The plan is to actually merge the package into Base and I would imagine get rid of the TmStruct, so this may not be needed (as long as we have all the functionality in this package).

Hi Jacob,
Ok. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.
cheers,
Keith

Sorry I never got back to you on this. The Dates.jl package (and now Dates module in Base) has much more sophisticated formatting capabilities, so hopefully that suits the functionality you were looking for. If not, I'm happy to help continue working on it (e.g. we just added the ability to put the day of the week in a formatted datetime to conform with HTTP protocols).
