This is useful, since the normal timegm function isn't a standard
function (requiring _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE on glibc to
be visible, and not available on e.g. windows). The widely available
function mktime uses the local time zone, which requires ugly
workarounds to handle UTC time.

All current usages of it are incompatible with localization.
For example strcasecmp("i", "I") != 0 is possible, but would
break many of the places where it is used.
Instead use our own implementations that always treat the data
as ASCII.

The new av_parse_time() is created in libavutil/parseutils.h, all the
internal functions used by parse_date are moved to
libavutil/parseutils.c and made static.

It is pretty hopeless that other considerable projects will adopt
libavutil alone in other projects. Projects that need small footprint
are better off with more specialized libraries such as gnulib or rather
just copy the necessary parts that they need. With this in mind, nobody
is helped by having libavutil and libavcore split. In order to ease
maintenance inside and around FFmpeg and to reduce confusion where to
put common code, avcore's functionality is merged (back) to avutil.
