[tracing-subscriber]: add chrono crate implementations of FormatTime (#2690)

Issue #2080 explains that it's not
possible to soundly use
[`tracing_subscriber::fmt::time::LocalTime`](https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/latest/tracing_subscriber/fmt/time/struct.LocalTime.html)
in a multithreaded context. It proposes adding alternative time formatters that
use the [chrono crate](https://docs.rs/chrono/latest/chrono/) to workaround
which is what this PR offers.

A new source file 'chrono_crate.rs' is added to the 'tracing-subscriber'
package implementing `mod chrono_crate` providing two new tag types `LocalTime`
and `Utc` with associated `time::FormatTime` trait implementations that call
`chrono::Local::now().to_rfc3339()` and `chrono::Utc::now().to_rfc3339()`
respectively. Simple unit-tests of the new functionality accompany the
additions.
