This changeset converts the display of dates and times to be just UTC to match the recent changes in the backend. This unwinds a bit of work that was done previously and allows us to start with a clean slate in how we want to approach displaying dates and times going forward. It also adds a bit of explanatory text to help users.

It looks like, by default, Flask no longer makes full URLs, for example
`https://example.com/path`. Instead it does `/path`. This will still
work fine, and if anything is better because it reduces the number of
bytes of HTML we are sending.
It won’t mean that requests go over `http` instead of `https` without
the protocol because we set the appropriate HSTS header here:
0c57da7781/ansible/roles/paas-proxy/templates/admin.conf.j2 (L11)
This commit changes all our tests to reflect that URLs no longer have
the protocol and domain in them. `_external=True` is Flask’s way of
saying whether a URL should be generated with the domain and protocol
(`True`) or without it (`False`).
Again, I can’t find the changelog or diff where this was introuduced,
but if you’d like to go spelunking then here’s a starting point:
50374e3cfe/src/flask/helpers.py (L192)
We added a new argument to `client_request.get` and
`client_request.post` to specify that it should return a raw `Response`
object rather than an instance of `BeautifulSoup`.
This is useful because sometimes we need to look at stuff like the
response headers.
However it turns out we already have a separate method for this, so
rather than invent something new I think it’s better to stick with the
thing we already have.
We have a `client_request` fixture which does a bunch of useful stuff
like:
- checking the status code of the response
- returning a `BeautifulSoup` object
Lots of our tests still use an older fixture called `logged_in_client`.
This is not as good because:
- it returns a raw `Response` object
- doesn’t do the additional checks
- means our tests contain a lot of repetetive boilerplate like `page = BeautifulSoup(response.data.decode('utf-8'), 'html.parser')`
This commit converts all the tests using `logged_in_client` to:
use `client_request` instead.
