PATCH: zsh-3.1.2-zefram3: 12 hour clock in prompts



It looks (as I mentioned before) as if someone has rationalised the %l
strftime sequence to do the same as in strftime(), i.e. print a space
before a number less than 10 in an hour given in 12-hour format.
Since this makes me shriek with frustration every time I look at my
prompt, which is often, the best thing to do is probably the same as
with the 24-hour version %k, where there is an additional sequence %K
which suppresses the space.  Luckily %L is free, so this makes the 12
and 24 hour versions nicely consistent.  (Historically, both %k and %l
suppressed the space, so this is also the natural way to update it.)
