Subject: [PATCH] Fix Safari rejecting the news publish-date field

<input type=datetime-local> with no step attribute defaults to
whole-minute granularity, but the value was rendered via the "c"
filter (full ISO, always includes seconds) -- NewsPublishForm's
initial=timezone.now made every render carry live, non-zero seconds,
which violates that implicit step. Chrome tolerates the mismatch;
Safari enforces it and silently refuses to accept the field, with no
server-side validation error to explain why. Format datetime-local
values at minute precision instead. Fixes every field using this
widget (event start/end/gathering/deadline, series dtstart/until),
not just the one this was noticed on.
