GNUS bug in timezone.el

I came across and fixed a rather simple bug in timezone.el for GNUS 3.14.1.
timezone-parse-date fails to handle dates where the month is spelled out
completely, and those occaisonally do come up in newsgroups---and, if they
do, GNUS can't even open that newsgroup (if you're using dates to sort
them, that is).

This may have been posted before, but here's the patch to allow the
timezone command to handle these cases.
