Mira Limbeck 2742c7f849 add compatibility with API/Tracking Center
The API assumes the timestamps to be in the local timezone rather than
UTC. It then subtracts the timezone offset leading to wrong values when
timestamps are in UTC, but timezone is not.

For compatibility, add the local timezone to those timestamps.

The pmg-log-tracker extracts information out of the syslog to match all entries
related to a single mail. It does so by using the PID of 'smtpd' entries in the
log as key for the SEntry structs. The QID, an ID consisting of at least 2 all
upper case hex digits, is used for both QEntry structs and FEntry structs.

As a rule of thumb, SEntrys are used wherever the services 'postscreen' and
'smtpd' are involved. QEntrys on the other hand are only used when a queue is
involved (e.g. after-queue filtering passing the postscreen checks,
before-queue filtering when the mail is 'accepted'). FEntrys are used whenever
the filter (pmg-smtp-filter) is involved.

The typical flow of a mail (after-queue):

1. postscreen (NOQUEUE -> mail finished)
2. smtpd (pid matching)
3. cleanup -> qmgr (mail in queue, QID matching)
4. pmg-smtp-filter (rule system, accept/block, long (Q)ID matching)
5. lmtp/smtp/local/error (QID matching, filter ID matching in lmtp)
6. qmgr ('removed')
7. smtpd ('disconnected from')

Both 6 and 7 are required before the mail can be printed completely.
6 and 7 can be logged in arbitrary order.

The typical flow of a mail (before-queue):

1. postscreen (NOQUEUE -> mail finished)
2. smtpd 1 (pid matching)
3. pmg-smtp-filter (rule system, accept/block, long (Q)ID matching)
  - on accept match the QID
4. smtpd 2 (pid matching)
5. (optional, only on 'accept') cleanup -> qmgr (mail in queue, QID matching)
6. (optional, only on 'accept') smtp (QID matching)
7. (optional, only on 'accept') qmgr ('removed')
8. smtpd 2 ('disconnect from')
9. smtpd 1 (proxy-accept/proxy-reject, filter (Q)ID matching)
10. smtpd 1 ('disconnect from')

7, 8 and 10 are required before the mail can be printed completely.
7, 8 and 10 can be logged in arbitrary order.
