[S32/Temporal] Changed to use a different way of specifying time zones,
which is hopefully saner than my last proposal.

All four of the aforementioned forms of Cnew accept two additional named
arguments. C:formatter is a callable object that takes a CDateTime and
returns a string. The default formatter creates an ISO 8601 timestamp (see

both

-C:timezone can be a two-element list, which is interpreted as a static
-offset from UTC. The default time zone is C(0, 0) (i.e., UTC).

Perhaps it's just me, but a boolean value to specify the direction of
conversion seems wrong-ish. An enum with two values TO_UTC and FROM_UTC
would be a little more self-documenting.
