Summary
This PR adds a configurable site-wide time format setting that allows OpenCATS installations to use either 12-hour or 24-hour time display.
This wires the existing
site.time_format_24setting into site localization, session handling, localization settings, the first-run wizard and the installer. It also applies the configured time format across activity display and editing, calendar forms and settings, email template date/time replacement and other user-facing date/time output where appropriate.The default behavior remains unchanged: existing installations continue to use the 12-hour format unless the 24-hour format is explicitly selected.
Motivation
This improves OpenCATS internationalization by allowing installations to use the time format that matches their locale and users' expectations.
A large share of countries commonly use the 24-hour time format. Supporting both 12-hour and 24-hour formats makes OpenCATS more suitable for international deployments while preserving the existing default behavior for users who prefer the 12-hour format.
