Description
Right now on the protoDUNE cluster, the DAQInterface start time and DAQInterface stop time in the metadata.txt (and thus the metadata.fcl) appear in Italian. E.g., /nfs/sw/artdaq/run_records/5140/metadata.txt:
DAQInterface start time: mer 10 ott 2018, 16.09.02, UTC DAQInterface stop time: mer 10 ott 2018, 17.11.59, UTC
The date_and_time function in DAQInterface should be made sophisticated enough to always save this in English, regardless of the computer it's running on.

Resolved with a very simple commit, 715c817c85f553b86d57bedee8730a0beb4f76c3, which diff'd with the previous commit looks as follows:
- return Popen("date", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.readlines()[0].strip()
+ return Popen("LC_ALL=\"en_US.UTF-8\" date", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.readlines()[0].strip()
