Debug dottime in modeline
My modeline was displaying the local time (not UTC time) and appending the UTC
timezone offset, which was confusing me.

When it was `00:03` in London, my modeline would read `00:03+01`. One way of
interpreting this is that it's `00:03` in London and the `+01` is a reminder
that I'm one hour ahead of UTC. However, I was reading it as though it was
`00:03` UTC and thus `01:03` in London.

I had to set `display-time-string-forms` instead of `display-time-string` to
pass the `t` argument to the `ZONE` parameter to indicate that I'd prefer to use
UTC time and not local time when expanding the variables.
