Methods to assist with working with times. Configuration Manager uses several different types of time internally and this encapsulates many of them.

Supported time formats include ISO 8601, CIM time (called SMS time in the some of the methods and properties in this class), COM FILETIME, Win32 SystemTime, "SMS Cookie" time, and CTime/time_t/UNIX time.

Conversion from and too these formats is supported in most cases.
