COSMOS Global Time Zone Setting (Local/UTC)

[ghost]

System.txt should support a time zone keyword to specify if COSMOS time choosers should expect local times or UTC times. (Currently it is local times)

@ryanatball Just to make sure I understand the intent... when you say "time choosers", I'm thinking of the calendar dialogs that are used to select times for TlmExtractor. Is that what you had in mind, or am I thinking of the wrong thing?

Yes, the time chooser boxes like in TlmExtractor. This should also affect anywhere time is displayed as well though.

@ryanatball Ok, gotcha. So, for example, when I load a log file in Replay, it shows the start, current, and end times-- those would display in local/UTC depending on this setting as well, right? Do you think it'd be worth displaying the UTC offset (or UTC) wherever times are shown to make this more obvious? Something like what the default Time class does?

irb(main):001:0> Time.now
=> 2017-05-18 10:20:08 -0600
irb(main):002:0> Time.now.utc
=> 2017-05-18 16:20:13 UTC

I would be ok with indicating the offset in some fashion.
