Add global setting how timestamps should be rendered (#28657)

- Resolves https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/22493
- Related to https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/4520

Some admins prefer all timestamps to display the full date instead of
relative time. They can do that now by setting

```ini
[ui]
PREFERRED_TIMESTAMP_TENSE = absolute
```

This setting is set to `mixed` by default, allowing dates to render as
"5 hours ago". Here are some screenshots of the UI with this setting set
to `absolute`:
