git-svn: Add --localtime option to "fetch"

By default git-svn stores timestamps of fetched commits in
Subversion's UTC format.  Passing --localtime to fetch will convert
them to the timezone of the server on which git-svn is run.

This makes the timestamps of a resulting "git log" agree with what
"svn log" shows for the same repository.

+--localtime;;
+	Store Git commit times in the local timezone instead of UTC.  This
+	makes 'git-log' (even without --date=local) show the same times
+	that `svn log` would in the local timezone.

+This doesn't interfere with interoperating with the Subversion
+repository you cloned from, but if you wish for your local Git
+repository to be able to interoperate with someone else's local Git
+repository, either don't use this option or you should both use it in
+the same local timezone.
