Just like
weechat.look.prefix_same_nick
allows not repeating the nick if it's the same for consecutive lines, this PR adds an option to not repeat the displayed time if it's the same for consecutive lines. The option behaves similarly: empty string means disabled, non-empty string is evaluated (to allow colors) to use a custom string (may be a space for just hiding).Custom strings are left-aligned and padded to the length of the displayed time. Too long custom strings are simply truncated. While it would theoretically be possible to add line prefix like alignment customization options, it is an unnecessary complication for this change, especially since it hasn't been needed so far as the time has had constant aligned width.
