    Properly handle timezones and user’s preferred date format in bundles · 127e81f1

    Before: The ‘created’ and ‘updated’ times were stored as datetimes
    in the author’s time zone, but *without* a time zone marker. If a
    different user had a different time zone, the time displayed would
    be wrong (e.g., it could be a datetime in the future). Also, the
    format of the displayed time was a strange mix of locale-aware
    stuff (e.g. localised month names) and non-locale aware stuff
    (the order of the different components in the datetime).
    
    Now: The times are always stored as UTC datetimes, with an explicit
    datetime marker (‘Z’). (So no information about the author’s
    location is leaked.) They are always shown in the user’s preferred
    short datetime format (and in the user’s time zone).
    
    The above is true for ‘created’ and ‘updated’ times stored as
    actual datetimes. Older versions of Krita only stored the date,
    and in the fixed ‘dd/mm/yyyy’ format. For these bundles, the date
    is displayed in the user...
