time: implement and test RFC1123 timestamp string

HTTP 1.1 responses require a timestamp header with a format
specified (currently) by:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-5.6.7

This specific format is defined in RFC1123:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1123#page-55

The libevent implementation can be referenced in evutil_time.c
evutil_date_rfc1123()

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new helper function that converts a timestamp into the RFC1123 date format used in HTTP headers. It is purely additive: it introduces a formatting routine and unit tests, with no changes to existing behavior or network-facing code. There is no security issue visible in the change itself.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality/test addition. If this function is later used for HTTP header generation, ensure callers handle the empty-string out-of-range return value appropriately.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
