Force use of UTC in formatting seconds into MM:SS
What does this MR do?
The job trace logs section parser computes section durations for the UIs by computing differences in epoch timestamps between the sections.
However, when building the string represntation of the duration in MM:SS, its reliance on the Time library and the epoch time (0 seconds -> 00:00, extracted from 1970-01-01 00:00:00) means that it can be influenced by the timezone of the install host.
When timezone of the host uses non-UTC types and involves an offset, such as +0530 (India Standard Time) then the UI displayed section durations of 00:NN as 30:NN.
This change forces a UTC conversion of the computed epoch time from the seconds, which should help with showing the right duration values regardless of local timezone.
