Demo servers

The following are known OACS servers:

• http://45.55.99.236:8080/sensorhub/api - seems to have been freshly set up - let's use this one - it is protected by auth (credentials supplied offline)
• https://csa.demo.52north.org/ - as of now, this server's TLS certificate is not valid, so one needs to skip TLS verification in order to use it.
• https://api.georobotix.io/ogc/demo1/api/systems - the opensensorhub docs claim this is a good demo server for OACS - seems to be down though (responds with HTTP 502)
• https://os4csapi-osh.duckdns.org/sensorhub/api - it contains tons of data for systems, deployments and other resources - it is protected by auth (credentials supplied offline)

Parsing of datetimes

The code that parses raw date-times has been lightly adapted from the pyRFC3339 project. This is done in order to keep the plugin from having to rely on third-party Python packages being installed, which can sometimes pose a problem for end users.
