Add JS (JSON) date format to formats used in $ZDATE & $ZDATEH

In Javascript the date format is as follows:

2012-04-23T18:25:43.511Z

It is hardly different from the ODBC format, but still requires a transformation during exchanges between the frontend and the backEnd.

JSON does not define a format for dates but it seems logical to conform to that of JS.

I think it would therefore be very useful to have, in the same way as the ODBC format, a "JS/JSON" format in the formats usable in the $ZDATE & $ZDATEH functions
