plugins/callback/profile_tasks.py: Add option to provide a different date/time format

SUMMARY
The new datetime_format key will offer the possibility of providing a different date/time format than the default one ('%A %d %B %Y  %H:%M:%S %z').

The iso8601 value can be used as an '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f' alias (format of the ISO 8601 date/time standard).

The code has changed from using the time API to the datetime one in order to support sub-second precision (needed by the ISO 8601 format, for example).
Fixes: #279
