Homogenization of date and time format #111

Reported by iulius on 21 Dec 2008 12:14 UTC INN should use everywhere a saner date and time format.

Parsing logs would for instance be easier with "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS -ZZZZ", as Russ Allbery suggests in an inn-workers posting. Todd Olson has also concerns about daylight savings and leap seconds in another message.

Let's begin by implementing this preferred format in the innfeed debug log file and the perl-nocem log file. We'll see for other programs later.

Also, update innreport to decode this format.

Examples:

2024-03-13 22:04:19 +0100 news innfeed[4176150]: prepareSleep hostChkCxns, 300

2024-03-13 22:05:06 +0100 news nocem[4176114]: processed notice bot-spam-4562c99151807e31 by xxx for spam (14 ids, 0.01032 s, 1356.7/s)
