Feature request: make time and date more distinct on the "recent calls" screen

[genodeftest]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set the date format to dd.mm.yyyy
2. Have a look at the call history

What happens:
the call history shows date and time of old calls, e.g. 20:05 and 20.05. In this case, it is hard to distinguish date and time by a first look.

What should happen:
Have different date/time format which makes it easier to distinguish date and time. Example:

• today, 8:05
• yesterday, 20:05
• Wednesday
• Monday
• 12.5.

In other words: For the last 24 hours (or today and yesterday), specify the date by the word "today" or "yesterday" respectively. For the other days within the last 7 days, use weekdate name plus date. For older days, use the date only.

Or maybe swap date word and time:

• 8:05 today
• 20:05 yesterday
• Wednesday 20.05.
• Monday 18.05.
• 12.05.

Hello is more or less what I asked too, Tibbi unifies the two problems.

I like relative times where they make sense too.
So if the entry in the call history is less than a hour old it should say %d minutes ago. If it's less than 24 hours old it should say %d hours ago.
Then yesterday at HH:MM.
Then Day name at HH:MM for entries that are up to a week old.
and then configured date format for older entries.
Perhaps there is already a library for doing this taking proper localization into account. Many social network client apps are doing this these days.

I would also add, that the strings make proper Hungarian translation difficult. I have two issues:

• The name of the days and month should only be capitalized at the start of the label, never in the middle (so these should be separate).
• The date formats are also not a good fit for us, none of the provided formats are usual in Hungarian. (We use either yy. mm. dd., or yyyy. MMMM dd.)
