Reintroduce adding timestamp to GitLab Standard Context

Piotr Skorupa requested to merge psk-reintroduce-timestamp-gitlab-standard-context into master

What does this MR do and why?

Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/345036.

This reintroduces !75418 (merged), which was previously reverted in !77232 (merged) due to inconsistent timestamp formats for Snowplow frontend and backend events, which tripped up the GitLab Standard Context schema (#349109 (closed)).

The changes should now be working fine due to corrective actions, which relaxed the schema that validated the timestamps. This is acknowledged in #349109 (comment 793507851) and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/345036#note_801729803.

Nevertheless, we should manually double-check if both frontend and backend events work correctly in Snowplow Micro with these changes before merging.
