Remove ref to macOS not having date -I
#230
Conversation
The `-I` option was added to the FreeBSD version of `date` in FreeBSD 12.0, and is therefore available in newer versions of macOS. While technically it is true that this option is not in MacOS X and possibly macOS 11 (Big Sur), it may cause confusion to highlight it when most learners on macOS will have a version that supports the option. Recreates auto-closed PR LibraryCarpentry#217.

Now that only legacy BSD implementations of `date` don't support the `-I` option, and Macs no longer ship with these, it is fair to say "most" rather than "some" platforms support it.
