Pulling method originally implemented in the default Mycroft skill-alarm, but useful by many for
converting a different timezone to whatever the native timezone is on the host machine.
The mycroft.util.time.now_utc() was returning a naive datetime object, potentially causing
issues in skills running on instances that aren't using UTC system-wide. This didn't impact
Picroft or Mark 1, but Github installs would experience issues with skills such as the Alarm.
Many cases that were missed in the unittests for extract_datetime()
from the original source. Restored those tests and made code
adjustments to support them all.
Also adding the mycroft.util.time module. This supports:
* mycroft.util.time.default_timezone()
Returns the user-configured timezone based on location
* mycroft.util.time.now_utc()
Returns the time in UTC
* mycroft.util.time.now_local()
Returns the time in the user's timezone
* mycroft.util.time.to_utc()
Converts to UTC
* mycroft.util.time.to_local()
Converts to user's timezone
NOTE: Several skills should be updated to use these now.
==== Fixed Issues ====
Several issues for skills regarding parsing of "today"
==== Documentation Notes ====
Note the new module: mycroft.util.time
==== Localization Notes ====
Localized versions of extract_datetime() likely need to be
updated, as most were based on the original English implementation
