Bug description:ISO Format sets invalid timezone: Z

Description:
------------
---
From manual page:
http://www.php.net/datetime.construct#refsect1-datetime.construct-description
---

Creating a DateTime from a string in the ISO8601 format
"2011-12-06T19:55:34Z" will succeed, but with a DateTimeZone with name "Z".
That is incorrect, since "Z" is the way to specify UTC in that ISO format.

Furthermore, if you want to create a DateTimeZone("Z") it will throw.

Best regards, hope this helps to make php better :)

Test script:
---------------
$dt = new DateTime("2011-12-06T19:55:34Z");
$tz = $dt->getTimeZone();
echo $tz->getName();



Expected result:
----------------
"UTC"

Actual result:
--------------
"Z"
