Summary
gix-date can create non-utf8 string with `TimeBuf::as_str`
Details

The function gix_date::parse::TimeBuf::as_str can create an illegal string containing non-utf8 characters. This violates the safety invariant of TimeBuf and can lead to undefined behavior when consuming the string.

The bug can be prevented by adding str::from_utf8 to the function TimeBuf::write.
