Fix issue 16993: Clarify documentation of std.datetime's toString functions.

I should have done this years ago, but this makes the documentation
clear that std.datetime's toString is intended simply for easy printing
of the type rather than for code that actually cares about the format of
the string. There are other, explicit functions for code that actually
cares.

--- Comment #2 from Jonathan M Davis  ---
toString does currently call toSimpleString, but the intention is that if you
actually care about the format of the string, you don't use toString. Instead,
you use a function like toSimpleString or toISOExtString that's explicit about
the format. toString is just intended to convert the type to a user-friendly
string, not for specific formatting.

They don't differ at all. toString just calls toSimpleString and forwards the
result.
