fixes #1865
This PR allows one to change the timestamp code character, under Options -> Config, from the default "%" to anything the user wants. Note that it only affects ZoneMinder's builtin codes. This has no affect on the standard strftime codes.
As described in #1865, this is one way to address the issue of BSD operating systems handling the % character differently than their Linux counterpart.
I'm willing to hear alternative methods to fix this.

Please test this and provide feedback as I don't currently have any FreeBSD systems running zoneminder.
