Description

[Sitemap protocol](https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html) uses [w3c date format](https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime) including TZD = time zone designator (Z or +hh:mm or -hh:mm). GeoNetwork currently does not add TZD, suggestion is to add Z as general timezone until more specific timezone info is available.

Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by reading the linked Sitemap protocol and W3C date-format guidance, then locate GeoNetwork's sitemap date generation entry point. Done means generated sitemap dates include a valid TZD, using Z when no more specific timezone is available.
