appender: replace chrono with time (#1652)

## Motivation

This PR continues the work started in
#1646 to replace `chrono` with
`time`. I'll refer to @hawkw's motivation:

> Currently, `tracing-subscriber` supports the `chrono` crate for
> timestamp formatting, via a default-on feature flag. When this code
> was initially added to `tracing-subscriber`, the `time` crate did not
> have support for the timestamp formatting options we needed.
>
> Unfortunately, the `chrono` crate's maintenance status is now in
> question (see #1598). Furthermore, `chrono` depends on version 0.1 of
> the `time` crate, which contains a security vulnerability
> (https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2020-0071.html). This
> vulnerability is fixed in more recent releases of `time`, but `chrono`
> still uses v0.1.

## Solution

I've replaced chrono with time 0.3. Unfortunately, some of chrono's
builders for DateTimes are not present in `time`, which required the
usage of `macro_rules!` macros to construct some of the hard-coded
times. I also took the opportunity to tidy some of the tests and change
the internal representation of `Rotation::NEVER` from year 9,999 to an
`Option::None`.

This branch changes `tracing-appender`'s MSRV from Rust 1.42 to Rust
1.51, the MSRV for the `time` crate when certain required feature flags
are enabled. This does *not* effect the MSRV for other crates in this
repository.
