Add tests for `timeAgo` to analyse issue gitblit-org#1248. The tests are dependent on when they run as they time functions use the current date and time. To make them testable in a reproducible way, we need the ability to pass in what we think is "now". So add overloaded methods that take a `now` parameter so that we can pass in the current time.
For some reason the `TimeUtilsTest` class is, like almost all tests, in the `com.gitblit.tests` package. But this way all methods in classes which we might predominately need for tests have to be public. So move the unit test class `TimeUtilsTest` to the same package as the class it is testing, i.e. `com.gitblit.utils.TimeUtils`. This way we ca set the new added methods which get the current time passed in to be at least not public.
The `daysAgo` method seemed to want to normalize on a calendar day? I can't really tell what it was trying to do, but the problem is that it does not take into account any time shift due to time zones so it never really worked outside of GMT. So instead a new `calendarDaysAgo` method is added (because I am unsure on what the `daysAgo` method is trying to do. It can probably be removed). The new method cleanly calculates difference in calendar days because it normalizes the two given time stamps on the same time zone. The `timeAgo` method now used the new method. This fixes gitblit-org#1248.

The
timeAgodoes not work correctly when in GMT time zone because of how thedaysAgomethod inTimeUtilsworks.This PR fixes that by changing to checking for actual full calendar days. To cover this with unit tests (as date issues are rather tricky), the methods in
TimeUtilsneed to be overridden to make them testable in a reproducible way. And not have the test result dependent on the time of day the test is executed.This fixes issued #800 and #1248.
