[sdk] Time Picker component does not respect user locale

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan]

In the new clock app we are using the Date Picker component to allow the user to choose a time. Hence the mode used was "Hours|Minutes". However the Date Picker seems to always display the time in 24 hour instead of using the user's locale. So whereever 12-hour time format is required, the time picker ignores that.

The code below shows the usage in the clock app.

DatePicker {
            id: _timePicker

            anchors {
                left: parent.left
                right: parent.right
                margins: units.gu(-2)
            }

            clip: true
            mode: "Hours|Minutes"
        }

This is very annoying in a 12h locale.

We do not have design to show 12h format... yet :)

Design solution has been already discussed and validated as part of the UI components workstream.
