Description

As asked on IRC by @andir

[04:36:24] <andi-> You did the ofborg frontend? Am I missing the obvious thing about builds: When they were built?

There is a bunch of information available in the API that isn't shown in the interface, but there are no date or moment information. I'm not 100% sure what information is desired, but I expect something like the moment the attempt was started and the moment the attempt finished would be more than enough. If there are steps, a timestamp of those, too, may be nice.

The date format, once serialized, probably should be ISO 8601, in UTC.

Research direction

Start by tracing build-attempt data from the API into the frontend interface; no specific files or tests are identified in the issue. Confirm which timestamps are available for attempt start and finish, then define the serialized UTC ISO 8601 fields and verify that the interface displays them.
