[JENKINS-15161] Dashboard views use system time instead of Jenkins time

[TobiX]

I'm using the Dashboard View plugin and using the "latest builds" view. The system that Jenkins runs on has its clock set to UTC, but I have the Jenkins timezone set to PST. On all the native Jenkins pages, such as job build history, I see timestamps in PST. In the "latest builds" view the times are all UTC.

I set the timezone for Jenkins by running it like this on the command line: java -Dorg.apache.commons.jelly.tags.fmt.timeZone=America/Los_Angeles -jar jenkins.war

It would be nice if the dashboard was able to detect the user time zone thought the browser and show the times local regardless of what the settings are. This make people viewing the dashboard internationally not have to mentally calculate what time a job kicks off and would be very helpfully for automatic deployment.

Marco - I noticed you have done work on this plugin recently. Any thoughts on this issue? It is still present in the latest version.

I suspect even if the ticket is very old, the issue still exists?
