syslog-ng logs wrong timestamp for periodical timestamp aka "MARK".

Syslog-ng seems to be writing UTC timestamp for "-- MARK --".
(This machine's timezone is +0900, for dual-boot with windows)
In the source code(logmsg.c), "MARK" message is built with LP_NOPARSE option;
this make it skip for log_msg_parse() to localtime handling.
One of the solution is to change option for MARK.
(I'm using this patch, but I don't know so much about problem caused by this
patch)
