Summary: replacing rfc822.formatdate

Initial Comment:
If we're going to deprecate rfc822, we should stop
using it.
The following patch makes urllib and urllib2 stop using it
for date strings. Unfortunately HTTP insists on the "GMT" 
notation for the timezone, not "-0000"[1], so
email.Utils.formatdate
grew a new flag "asciigmt". 

Assigning to Barry, as email is his baby.

Please include a test case, and add a note to the
documentation that asciigmt is only consulted if the
localtime flag is true.  Also 'asciigmt' looks kind of funny
-- how about 'usegmt'?

Other than that +1

I downloaded and applied this without any apparent problems.

(I got a failure of test_socketserver when running with
-unetwork, but I reverted the patch and confirmed that that
was not due to Anthony's patch)
