This patch fixes two bugs in the same section of code:

Bug 1: While running org-time-stamp, org-read-date-overlay is shown in the
current buffer, even when that buffer isn't the minibuffer. You can see
this by entering a file in org-mode, then pressing <C-c .> to run
org-time-stamp. The overlay is the yellow highlighted line showing the date
that will be entered into the org-mode window. For example, "=> <2012-01-23
Mon>". Move into another window with <C-x o>, and the overlay is displayed
there. I don't think this is desired behavior.

To fix this, I added a line that inserts org-read-date-overlay only if the
current buffer is a minibuffer.

Bug 2: While running org-time-stamp, when moving point into the calendar
window, there is an error: error in post-command hook (buffer-read-only
*Calendar*). Additionally, point is put at the end of the line containing
the current day. To reproduce this behavior, press <C-c .> to run
org-time-stamp, then press <C-x o> repeatedly until you move point into the
window with the Calendar.

You will see the aformentioned error, and the cursor will be at the end of
the line containing the current day. To fix this, I removed the process of
explicitly saving point in the minibuffer and restoring it after inserting
org-read-date-overlay, and replaced it with save-excursion.
