time package should have some ISO 8601 date & date/time formats

[mark-summerfield]

I think the time package should have some ISO 8601 date & date/time formats, e.g.

ISO8601Date = "2006-01-02"
ISO8601DateTime = "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z"

Comment 1:

Your ISO8601DateTime is time.RFC3339.
There are no date-only formats provided.
The nice thing about package time is that
you can just write "2006-01-02" in the
calling code, and it's even clearer than
using a named constant.
