[PATCH] Fix the timezone detection of parse-iso8601-time-string.

        * parse-time.el (parse-iso8601-time-string): Fix its timezone
        parsing.
        * parse-time.el: Add doc for parse-iso8601-time-string and
        make it autoload.
        * editfns.c (Fdecode-time): Minor doc improvement for decode-time.
        * emacs-mime.texi (time-date): Add an example for
        parse-iso8601-time-string.
