CA-38687: be more accepting of ISO8601 dates without a timezone.

Note that xapi expects all dates to be in UTC; xapi knows nothing about 
timezones.

The XMLRPC spec is vague but encourages people to *omit* the timezone 
information from requests. We now accept such vague inputs but we still expect 
them to be in UTC.

The following python snippet produces no results without the fix and the full 
message list (as expected) with the fix:

<<<<<
#!/usr/bin/env python

import xmlrpclib

x = xmlrpclib.Server("http://localhost";)
session = x.session.login_with_password("root", "password")["Value"]
print repr(x.message.get_since(session, xmlrpclib.DateTime(0)))
>>>>>
