Locale issue (date format)

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm running 2.0.4.

I've noticed that the date formats are incorrect. As I was looking at the system, I saw that while my profile had en_GB as the language, there wasn't corresponding directory in the zabbix/locale directory, but there was an en_US. So i changed my language to en_US. Even though it appeared that the correct date format was in the zabbix/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/frontend.po file, it wasn't doing anything for the zoom bar, which I traced to the file zabbix/js/gtlc.js.

It seems that the date format is hard-coded in the javascript, so I had to make a code change to fix this. The following diff fixes this, as well as adding an additional selection for the zoom window of 36 hours.

We stumbled upon this issue earlier and logged a Jira, looks like it just got resolved recently here - https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-5458 - so should end up in 2.0.5
