Date ranges should honor the site timezone setting

[fjarrett]

Currently, the date ranges are based solely on UTC.

An offset should be applied to these date ranges so that they honor the local timezone setting of the site.

My site's local time is UTC -0500

Also, should we display the dates using get_option( 'date_format' ) (instead of Y/m/d)?

@lukecarbis I don't think so, I believe that setting is more for themes to use on the front end. If you look at the default post list table screen the Date column format is always Y/m/d regardless of this setting.
