TIMEs displayed for the TIME protocol which is UCT time from 1900, are
displayed in local time rather then UCT time.

Shouldn't the time be displayed in UCT time, as that is the specified format
for the TIME protocol.

This is because in packet_time.c the function abs_time_secs_to_str is used to
convert the time, and abs_time_secs_to_str uses localtime.
