Description

Format log event time as UNIX time.

This patch proposes two solutions, we should pick one.

Either use %d

{UNIX}

and modify the existing DatePatternConverter which makes the class a tiny bit more convoluted.

Or, create a new UnixTimePatternConverter, which is simple, but duplicates the pattern of DatePatternConverter.
