[PATCH] git-cvsimport: support local timezone

CVS patches are unconditionally imported with a UTC timezone. Allow the local timezone by adding -l to the command line or specifying cvsimport.l in the config.

This could be made the default behavior, as setting TZ=UTC in the environment before doing the import is equivalent to the current behavior. But since a new default may be an unwelcome surprise to some, make this new behavior available os an option.

I have tested this with various TZ values (including "UTC") and confirmed that the <fuzz> + 5min timeout is observed correctly in each case.
