Description

When doing a ValueMap.get("calendar", String.class) conversion, before SLING-8116, 

ISO8601.format() was used. Now, Calendar.toInstant().toString() is used. This gives a different result, because the ISO8601 gives the correct timezone, but toInstant() gives the Zulu time.

toInstant() does the following:

public final Instant toInstant() { return Instant.ofEpochMilli(getTimeInMillis()); }

Timezones and offsets are completely ignored.
