snapshot start_time values are incorrectly marked as UTC #587

[What steps will reproduce the problem?]
1. retrieve one or more snapshots using 
boto.ec2.connection.EC2Connection.get_all_snapshots
2. inspect the start_time attribute of a retrieved snapshot, observe that it is 
an ISO8601-formatted timestamp string, ex: u'2013-08-21T00:05:12.000Z', noting 
the trailing Z which indicates UTC
3. using the AWS console, inspect the same snapshot and observe the start time, 
ex: "2013-08-21 00:05 GMT-0600"

[What is the expected output? What do you see instead?]
I expect boto to report either an accurate timezone, a timestamp accurately 
shifted into the reported timezone, or no timezone information.  Instead I get 
a GMT-6 timestamp flagged as being in UTC.

[What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?]
boto 2.13.3
python 2.6.8
Amazon Linux 2013.03
