Revise README.md: buildDate expects timezone; copyediting

Since commit 3a8c12418a dated 2014-12-09,
commands.buildDate expects `date +%FT%T%z` rather than `date +%FT%T`.
Update README.md accordingly.

Also did a little copyediting.

##### Adding compile information to Hugo
When Hugo is built using the above steps, the `version` sub-command will include the `mdate` of the Hugo executable. Instead, it is possible to have the `version` sub-command return information about the git commit used and time of compilation using `build` flags.

Instead, it is possible to have the `version` sub-command return information about the git commit used and time of compilation using `build` flags.
To do this, replace the `go build` command with the following *(replace `/path/to/hugo` with the actual path)*:
go build -ldflags "-X /path/to/hugo/commands.commitHash `git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null` -X github.com/spf13/hugo/commands.buildDate `date +%FT%T`"
go build -ldflags "-X /path/to/hugo/commands.commitHash `git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null` -X github.com/spf13/hugo/commands.buildDate `date +%FT%T%z`"

The format of the date is configurable via the `Params.DateFormat` setting. `DateFormat` is a string value representing the Go time layout that should be used to format the date output. If `Params.DateFormat` is not set, `time.RFC3339` will be used as the default format.See [time documentation](http://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants) for more information.
