#20663: Admin Now and Today buttons use confusing time / timezone

-------------------------------+--------------------
The Django Admin has the default Today and Now buttons for datetime
fields.
These seem to use the local time, but store it as UTC in the db without
converting it. Meaning, if its 10PM local time, the Now button will
populate with 22:00 but will store as 22:00 +0:00:00. This is confusing
as it makes it very hard to understand what is going on.
It would be better if the buttons used UTC's current date/time and stored
as such, or use the default timezone and store the appropriate offset.
PS sorry if dupe, i tried searching but admin, today, and now are hard
terms to search on.
