Make sure we are using UTC, add tests if needed

It occurred to me re-reading the collector v2.0.x spec.

So, we're clearly using UTC. Now let's see about tests.

The standard does not specify whether we're using UTC:
Though unspecified by the standard, every implementation of std::chrono::system_clock::now() is tracking Unix Time, which is a very close approximation to UTC.
The matter will be clarified by C++20.
The description of system_clock by Microsoft further clarifies:
A clock type is used to obtain the current time as UTC.
No further action required.
