time: make time.Time print a valid Go string with %#v
Previously calling fmt.Sprintf("%#v", t) on a time.Time value would
yield a result like:
time.Time{wall:0x0, ext:
63724924180, loc:(*time.Location)(nil)}
which does not compile when embedded in a Go program, and does not
tell you what value is represented at a glance.
This change adds a GoString method that returns much more legible
output:
"time.Date(2009, time.February, 5, 5, 0, 57,
12345600, time.UTC)"
which gives you more information about the time.Time and also can be
usefully embedded in a Go program without additional work.
Update Quote() to hex escape non-ASCII characters (copying logic
from strconv), which makes it safer to embed them in the output of
GoString().
Fixes #39034.
