Make "now" templatetag accept locale formats.

Description

The documentation on the now tag claims that it acts like the date filter in accepting "DATE_FORMAT" as a shortcut to the locale's current date format. However, this is not the case:

>>> t=Template("""{% now "DATE_FORMAT" %}""")
>>> t.render(Context())
u'WedPMGMTE_February+0000RFebPMGMT'

Clearly the string is being interpreted as a literal format, instead of being translated to the locale's date format.

Attached patch fixes this by using the same logic as the date filter, including a regression test, and slightly tweaks the awkward wording in the docs.

Triage Stage: Accepted → Design decision needed

We introduced that extra paragraph about that non-existent interaction of the now tag with locale-dependent output formats in r14013 (fixing #13188) when moving the table of format specifiers from there to the date filter section.

We need to decide if we want to change the behavior of the tag to match the documentation (in which case the proposed patch can be reviewed, I haven't yet) or simply decide such change change isn't worth or sensible and then treat this ticket as documentation bug.

Reverted 'now' template tag documentation changes so it describes the real code implementation regarding (lack of) interaction with L10N machinery. Refs #15263. Thanks danielr for the report.

Other than adding a '.. versionadded:: 1.4' note for the docs this looks good to me.
