Previously, the WSContest tool (https://wscontest.toolforge.org/c/93) displayed start and end dates and times without specifying that they were in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This caused confusion among participants who assumed the times were in their local timezone. This commit modifies the template to explicitly append "UTC" to the displayed start and end dates and times: - Start date and time: 2023-03-06 00:00:00 UTC - End date and time: 2023-03-20 00:00:01 UTC By adding these indicators, we clarify that all displayed times are in UTC, ensuring consistency in understanding across participants and avoiding potential timezone confusion. Bug: T331225

Thanks for working on this!
The UTC abbreviation needs to be internationalized, because it's not the same in every language. It might be a good idea to switch to using Twig's format_datetime filter (which will require the addition of the twig/intl-extra package). That way, we don't need to add an i18n message here for "UTC" because the whole date will be localized.
