[Impact]

Oops pages show wrong time window in JournalErrors. For example, I just
experienced a crash at:

  Feb 28 17:31:12

And the JournalErrors entries are:

  Feb 28 17:31:30 - Feb 28 17:31:41

So don't relate to the crash.

[Test Plan]

1. Find a recent crash report from a relevant Ubuntu release on
https://errors.ubuntu.com/ If you're looking at
https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/SOMETHING then scroll down and pick a
relevant instance from the Occurrences list.

2. Now you're on a page starting with https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/
look at ApportVersion and verify that apport is a recent enough version
to contain the proposed fix. If not then go to step 1.

3. Verify the Date field falls within the time range of the
JournalErrors entries.

Step 3 might fail in the case of there being no system log entries from
around the time of the crash. That does not necessarily mean the test
plan has failed. Go to step 1 and pick a different crash.

Prior to the fix you would almost never find oops pages that would pass
the test. After the fix you should find many/most oops pages do pass the
test.

[Where problems could occur]

Worst case - in any part of the bug reporting/collection procedure,
since that is what's changing.
