Add Timezone to incident Start Time

What does this MR do?

When a prometheus alert is firing an issue can be automatically created.

This issue contains some markdown information about the alert as well as an embedded chart.

Here we add the timezone information to the static start time in the issue description to match the formatting that is scheduled to be on the embedded chart in 13.1

The embedded chart transforms the data to the users timezone on the front end however since the start time is static text within the description it stays in UTC. This MR adds a timezone abbreviation so that this is less jarring and confusing for the user.
