date representation: use ISO8601 rather than a specific locale
Dates, in particular in technical systems like Kallithea, are
better shown in a clear concise format like ISO8601 (YYYY-MM-DD)
than in a verbose format like 'Thu, Feb 26 2015'.
This commit changes all dates to ISO8601.

If desired, we could create two functions: one that returns ISO format and
another for the locale format. Depending on the usage, one or the other is
shown. I'm not very fond of that though, it looks inconsistent.

return date.strftime(_fmt).decode('utf8')
return ""
In some way related: certain dates in Kallithea are shown as an age '5
days ago' rather than an expanded date.
What is the strategy: when should we use what? Or should we always
show the age with the date as tooltip?
The current heuristics seems ok to me.
