When running `tailscale netcheck`, the reported timestamp used to be
in UTC and formatted according to RFC 3339 with a `T` to separate the
date from the time:
sfllaw@h2co3:~$ tailscale netcheck | head -n3
Report:
* Time: 2026-06-01T21:12:32.252620138Z
This is machine-readable time leaking out to the user interface. Times
in normal commands are formatted for humans to read:
sfllaw@h2co3:~$ date
Mon 01 Jun 2026 02:39:14 PM PDT
sfllaw@h2co3:~$ journalctl -t tailscaled | tail -n1

This PR makes the times printed by the CLI commands consistent:
- For `tailscale routecheck`, it now prints local time as
`2026-05-15 07:37:45-07:00`.
- For `netlogfmt`, it has always printed local time with a space,
but now includes the time zone.
- All machine-readable outputs continue to be standard RFC 3339 in
UTC, i.e. `--format=json`.
As part of a general cleanup, this PR also adds standard common
time.Format layouts as tstime constants.
