Right now, nuxeo-date-picker and nuxeo-date assume the date is in local mode:

1) nuxeo-date-picker assumes the input is in the local timezone and converts it to UTC when storing the value

2) nuxeo-date assumes the received date, which is in UTC, should be displayed in local time.

We should provide a way to configure this and allow these widgets to be in UTC mode:

1) nuxeo-date-picker assumes the input is in UTC and will store it as is

2) nuxeo-date assumes the received date should be displayed as is, in UTC
