tests: use basic format code "%Y" instead of "%s" for test portability

On Windows, strftime() doesn't support format code "%s", and it causes
"invalid format string" error.

test-command-template.t examines not seconds value in UTC, but
arithmetic calculation. Therefore, using format code "%Y" instead of
"%s" should be reasonable.

FYI:

- Python standard library reference doesn't list "%s" up in format
  code list required for "C standard (1989 version)", even though it
  also mentions that additional format codes are required for "C
  standard (1999 version)"

  https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior

- The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7 (IEEE Std 1003.1-2008,
  2016 Edition) doesn't require strftime to support format code "%s"

- "man strftime" of (Open/Oracle) Solaris and Mac OS X (= UNIX
  certified OSs) describes about format code "%s"

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution
# markers created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests are run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not
# enable evolution markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not
# enable evolution markers, hg will occasionally complain
# when it notices them, which disrupts tests resulting in
# sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the
# test-repo, there's no harm in telling hg that we support
# evolution markers, which is what the following lines
# for the hgrc file do:
cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
[experimental]
evolution=createmarkers
EOF
