API endpoints that return system maintained timestamps (specified as datetime
in the DB schema and specified as 'date-time' in the endpoint definition)
return the timestamps as a form of RFC3339 timestamps. For example, from the
GET /patrons/{patron_id} response:

"last_seen": "2020-02-13T08:47:29+00:00"

This is good as it's in a standard form. However, all the existing handlers in
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/calendar.inc that are used to
transform a received timestamp into the instance's defined format are expecting
timestamps in the format: (see DateTime_from_syspref)

[datestring] [hours:minutes]

Thereby making it impossible to display a returned timestamp to the user in
their chosen format.

We either need to create additional helpers or modify the API returning of ISO
formatted timestamps to something the helpers can cope with.
