We'll get better failure messages if we use an assertion method that
understands the comparison we're trying to make. If you make the
comparison by hand and assertTrue(), you don't get much constructive
feedback ;).
Support the forms listed by the W3C [1]. I also removed the
'%Y-%d-%m' form, which can be confused with the '%Y-%m-%d' ISO form.
The new ISO forms can use 'Z' to designate UTC or '[+-]HHMM' to
specify offsets from UTC. Other time zone designators are not
supported.
The '%z' directive has only been supported since Python 3.2 [2], so if
you're running Pelican on Python 2.7, you're stuck with 'Z' for UTC.
Conveniently, we get ValueErrors for both invalid directives and
data/format missmatches, so we don't need special handling for the 2.7
case inside get_date().

Do not use abbreviated locale versions of month/whatever, because it seems that
this is not standard (e.g. MacOS abbreviating differently than GNU/Linux).
The old get_relative_path() implementation assumed os.sep == '/',
which doesn't hold on MS Windows. The new implementation uses
split_all() for a more general component count.
I added path_to_url(), because the:
'/'.join(split_all(path))
idiom was showing up in a number of cases, and it's easier to
understand what's going on when that reads:
path_to_url(path)
This will fix a number of places where I think paths and URLs were
conflated, and should improve MS Windows support.
