Cobertura timestamp should be UTC, but is not

[dnmh-psc]

Describe the bug
Report Generator changes the Cobertura report timestamp from UTC to Local time. It should keep it as UTC.

To Reproduce

1. Generate a dotnet test result from a unit test project:

dotnet test MyProject.UnitTests.csproj --logger trx --configuration Release --no-restore --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura

2. Check the resulting coverage.cobertura.xml file and see that the timestamp is on Unix Epoch Timestamp (which is always UTC).

3. Run the report generator:

reportgenerator -reports:'MyProject.UnitTests\TestResults\*\coverage.cobertura.xml' -targetdir:'CoverageResults' -reporttypes:'Cobertura' -filefilters:'+*.cs' -verbosity:'Warning'

4. The resulting report in the folder CoverageResults now has a timestamp which is in the local time zone. There is no time zone value in the timestamp, so there is no way of knowing in which time zone the report is generated. Therefore, it should always be in UTC.

I changed the timestamp to UTC format.

If you generate a Coberatura report, the current date is used in this report (now as UTC).
It's not the timestamp from the input file! The date from the input file(s) is only used in the HTML reports.

That sounds perfect! Will you make a new release with the changes? :-)

[danielpalme]

Yes, will publish a new release in the next days.
