Reformatting log timestamp to include time-zone
The time logged is currently given as localtime without any timezone
information. This is confusing in various scenarios.
Examples:
* If one is travelling across time-zones and the timestamps in the log
appear out of order.
* Comparing dates with `datediff` gives an offset by the time-zone
This patch would reformat the time-stamp to a full ISO-8601 version.
It includes the 'T' separating date and time including seconds.
