Display local time whereever times are shown #43

Times currently shown in UTC cause confusion occasionally for users not in UTC (which of course includes people in UTC+1 and UTC-1 fairly often, where mixups are especially easy to make!).

The big example is the "when is the next refresh" indicator, but others would also be nice to have in the local (browser) time zone. I reckon this could be achieved with a bit of judicious javascript plus sticking a class/attribute onto every displayed timestamp.

There's a <time> tag in HTML5 that can be combined with some javascript to do this (see this blog post for a simple example)
