* ReaderFooter: * Honor the global twelve_hour_clock setting, instead of duplicating a local one. (Re #6969) * os.date is a thin wrapper around strftime, so we might be able to get away with some not-quite-standard extensions... These are *definitely* supported on Linux, but are *NOT* the glibc extension (that'd be e.g., %-I), so, hopefully, they're somewhat portable... They are also supported on BSD/macOS. They are *not* supported by the MS UCRT. That means MinGW-w64, too. This *appears* to be supported on current Bionic (it might even support said glibc format altering extensions). * And of course, Windows is terrible, so, make this terribly ugly to not break it there... * Turns out BSD also supports the dash trim format extension, so, leave the trimming to the libc, and handle the special-casing in a way that doesn't create stupid locals. * Random unrelated cleanup ^^. (https://gitter.im/koreader/koreader?at=5fd24be492aa1c4ef5d11f31) * Update the testsuite (Because the default used to be 24h clock). Changed the default to 24h clock ;p. * Explain why we don't try to fix it in Lua
