This function converts local time to UTC via Java methods. It is therefore portable to Matlab on any platform. It can take as argument either a vector of datenums or a vector of datevecs (ie, local_time_to_utc(now) or local_time_to_utc([2008 01 01 00 00 00])). It formats the returned time as a Matlab date/time string with a post-pended 'Z' to indicate UTC.
