[Aaron Wells <1353069@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Attaching a test script to help with troubleshooting time issues. It
models the entire lifecycle of a timestamp in Mahara:

1. Epoch fetch from time()
2. Converted to a date-time string by db_format_timestamp()
3. Stored into the DB as a timestamp without timezone
4. Retrieved from the DB as an epoch
5. Converted into a human-readable string with strftime()

Bug description:
  On postgres db_format_tsfield() calculates time by doing
  FLOOR(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM {$field})) which apparently doesn't make
  sense if we are using fields without timezone (by reading this
  http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Possible-problem-with-EXTRACT-
  EPOCH-FROM-TIMESTAMP-td2125933.html).
