Subject: [PATCH] appview/pages: use consistent time component

Creates a new template fragment, repo/fragments/time, that is a component based on the <time> HTML element. The <time> element is already used for most datetimes, but inconsistently; some define `title` attributes and/or `datetime` attributes, most don't. The goal here is to standardize with a single component so every date has a consistent interaction. The datetime is ISO 8601 formatted as per the spec, the `title` (shown on hover) is a modified long format similar to GitHub's, and the content is a relative format %s ago (`timeFmt` - two `shortTimeFmt` variants also exist to preserve existing behavior).
