I'm in favor. No cross-platform issues, returns the backend's local time, and it's the first built-in tool safe to expose in less trusted contexts since all the others require a trusted environment. Useful as a stopgap for #22178, and also a nice "hello world" example for the built-in tools backend.

No strong opinions, but probably we can move this into a more generic tool get_server_info that also returns a subset of info from /props

Overview
Add a
get_datetimeserver tool (building on #21237) so that models can check the current date and time without it having to be manually edited into the prompt or system message.Simplest "fix" (arguably a workaround) for #22178.
