Time/Date handling is a bit bleagh; while formatTime is fairly consistently used, there are a number of places where it is ignored. Time string parsing is worse, with a number of different functions for parsing and converting times.

I have rationalised all this into a new TWiki::Time module that contains parseTime (formerly revDate2EpSecs) and formatTime, and got shot of all the minor variants on these functions.

There is an argument to say we should use a proper time string parser, like CPAN:Time::ParseDate
