Call to time::OffsetDateTime::now_local() panics

[bugeats]

I went to try loggy and hit a snag when this line panics in my project. Don't know why.

• Can you say what the exact panic was?

• Does the problem persist if you install the latest development version from github?

• I assume the panic goes away if you set show_time = false?

The time API has changed under my feet at least once and I've been suspicious of it ever since...

It seems the time package is fussy and returns None in some edge cases regarding the time zone.

I have switched the latest loggy version (0.5.3) to use chrono package that works around this somehow, so things "should" work now.

However, the latest chrono 0.4.23 still uses an old version of time (0.1.45), which is subject to the issue inn https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2020-0071 - e.g., cargo audit will complain about it.

The full solution will be to use chrono 0.5 - whenever that is released. I'm keeping this issue as open until then.
