[experimental] Allow user to modify time formatting

  * give user full control and full responsibility

  * add time_prefix = 3, that uses

    * time_format (normal prefix format string)

    * time_format_special (special prefix format string)

    * time_prefix_len (normal prefix width + 5)

  * fall back to 0, if any of these unset
