  - fix longstanding "date and time flash on and off" bug
  - this isn't a great fix, but it's a start
  - basically, we need to use the tmux status native support
    for timestamps
  - support configuration through ~/.byobu/datetime.tmux
  - this will be a difference between byobu-tmux and byobu-screen,
    which is a bummer
