Description
This is a follow up to #33778 and #35051.
Recap:
One of the requests is to see log timestamp according to a timezone, it was decided that it would be very risky to implement it on the server-side: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/35051#issuecomment-334117784 and https://notes.pault.ag/its-all-relative/.
Instead, it is preferable to implement an option in docker container logs that converts the UTC timestamp into a given timzeone one.
