Do not use datetime.datetime.utcnow()

[matrss]

There are multiple locations where this function is used. It is documented as being potentially dangerous and should be replaced with datetime.datetime.now(tz=datetime.timezone.utc): https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow

This came up in #2177 (comment).

Related to #2122.

There are more instances of utcnow() remaining:

$ git grep -n 'utcnow'
mslib/mscolab/models.py:184:    created_at = db.Column(db.DateTime, default=datetime.datetime.utcnow)
mslib/mscolab/models.py:208:    created_at = db.Column(db.DateTime, default=datetime.datetime.utcnow)
mslib/msui/wms_control.py:478:            datetime.utcnow().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)))
mslib/msui/wms_control.py:480:            datetime.utcnow().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)))
mslib/msui/wms_control.py:843:                        end_time = datetime.utcnow()

We have to be carefully not to create a dependency to mscolab in the msui code parts.
