In `riak-debug` when dmesg is called it should call dmesg with `-T` or something which dumps dmesg logs with human readable timestamps. Now it is called with just `dmesg`.

There are kernel setups when there is no timestamp at all, in that case the operators should enable timestamp during logging, we cannot do anything in that case.
dmesg should contain timestamps in riak-debug

It should be noted that `-T` is a non-standard extension to dmesg. If anything, we should add `dmesg -T` to the command list rather than replacing `dmesg`. Even then, we would be polluting some debug archives with spurious failures.

According to this conversation, it has been introduced in `util-linux 2.20.1` and yes, some older OSes don't support it. Is there any way to check if dmesg -T is supported?
