Timelion always treats the "Today" time period as UTC

[mike-marcacci]

Using Kibana 5.0.0-alpha4 and corresponding timelion release, selecting the "Today" time range returns results in UTC, while specifying the same range as "Absolute" respects the browser's time.

The built-in Kibana visualizations do not share this behavior, so using "Today" in a dashboard with mixed visualization types shows very odd results.

Edit: this is also true for other "Quick" times, like "Today" and "This week."

I had a similar problem with Kibana 4.5.3. Upgrading to Kibana 5.2.2 corrects this problem for me.

I'm seeing the same on Kibana 5.1.1 - I'm stuck with that version though as it's the AWS Elasticsearch Service version. I should be grateful it is on v5 at all 😀
Doesn't cause too many issues as we are still experimenting with Timelion and I'm not comparing the histogram side by side with any "native" kibana ones with different time periods.
