Summary:ASTERISK-08295: STRFTIME() requires an argument, but function description does not reflect that

Description:description for function STRFTIME() makes one believe that it requires no arguments, whereas that is not the case. I propose that either the description is fixed indicating which argument is required, or code gets adjusted to match the advertised description.

Also, perhaps some examples of use could be added to description, i.e.
${STRFTIME(,EST,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)} is same as ${TIMESTAMP}

Could've fooled me:

vcch17*CLI> show dialplan 135@internal
[ Context 'internal' created by 'pbx_config' ]
 '135' =>          1. NoOp(${STRFTIME()})                        [pbx_config]

   -- Executing NoOp("SIP/103-081ff2d8", "Thu Dec  7 16:25:34 2006") in new stack
   -- Executing Hangup("SIP/103-081ff2d8", "") in new stack
 == Spawn extension (internal, 135, 2) exited non-zero on 'SIP/103-081ff2d8'

Just tried again, same thing. I thing this code kicks in:

       if (ast_strlen_zero(parse)) {
               ast_log(LOG_ERROR,
                               "Asterisk function STRFTIME() requires an argument.\n");
               return -1;
       }

I will remove the block and recompile later -- this is a production server.
