gh-98378: Add small format string example to strftime comments (GH-98379)
A small example of what a full date and time would look like would help a lot of developers who may not realize that they should investigate `time.h`'s `strftime`, run `man strftime`, or click through a series of docs on the python docs before they get to the actual [definition here](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes) which still doesn't have an obvious copy-pastable example of "what the heck format does this thing actually expect?".
