Well, we did part of that, but it's still using asctime().  Should we
change that to strftime(..."%c"...) to be less English-centric?
(The result seems to be the same in C locale.  pg_controldata has done
it that way for a long time, with few complaints.)  If we want to do so,
now would be the time, since 9.6 already whacked around the format
of \watch output.
