 With the date format `'c'`, `the_time()` and `get_the_time()` print the
 wrong time zone offset. They print `+00:00`, even though the time shown is
 in local time, not GMT/UTC.

 Example (inside the loop):
 {{{
 var_dump( [
   get_option( 'gmt_offset' ),
   get_option( 'timezone_string' ),
   get_the_time( 'c' ),
   get_post_time( 'c', false ),
   get_post_time( 'c', true )
 ] );
 }}}

 Output:
 {{{
 array (size=5)
   0 => float -5
   1 => string 'America/New_York' (length=16)
   2 => string '2018-01-09T15:02:17+00:00' (length=25) // get_the_time( 'c'
 ); offset wrong
   3 => string '2018-01-09T15:02:17+00:00' (length=25) // get_post_time(
 'c', false ); offset wrong
   4 => string '2018-01-09T20:02:17+00:00' (length=25) // correct
 }}}

 Implementation
 `the_time()` calls `get_the_time()`, which calls `get_post_time()` with
 `$gmt` set to`false`.
