This patch introduces a new `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc`
variable which indicates the time the conversation got started.
Using `baibot_now_utc` is still possible, but given that the current
time is a moving target, its use is in conflict with prompt caching.
Because the new `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc` prompt variable
is a more reasonable default, we're now using it in all sample configs.
The other prerequisite seems to be not using a `prompt` (`prompt: null`),
but we already supported this.
It'd be nice to add an optional `max_completion_tokens` parameter as
well, for the benefit of the o1 models, but this is not yet supported by
async-openai.
Possibly tracked here: https://github.com/64bit/async-openai/issues/272
Since 2024-10-02, `gpt-4o` is actually the same as `gpt-4o-2024-08-06`.
We previously used `gpt-4o-2024-08-06`, because it was pointing to a
much better (longer context) model. Since they're both the same now,
we'd better stick to the unpinned model and make it easier for future
users to get upgrades.
This feature went through a few iterations. At some point,
a `(local timezone/time: unknown)` suffix was part of the
`baibot_now_utc` variable (hoping it improves the model's awareness that
it doesn't know the current local time), but the suffix was ultimately removed
as unnecessary.

This also includes them in the default prompts (for newly-created agents),
so that people can get a better experience out of the box.
