add trait to allow users to specify if datetimes are in UTC -- when the date attributes have no timezone

I don't think we should be modifying dates coming from web services. If services don't specify timezone in dates - then we assume UTC.

If users want to see dates as UTC instead of local timezone (which is the default web browser behaviour), then they can use the following trait.

{
    "dateFormat": "UTC:dd/mm/yyyy, HH:MM:ss Z"
{

If needed, we can revisit this if we come across "local" datasources than need a timezone adjustment (for example CSVs)

I'm going to close this - as the problem this was trying to solve ended up being a opendatacube-ows problem
