1. Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] sosreport - login plugin to include output with `-F`

2. Who is the customer behind the request?

There is no customer behind this request.

3. What is the nature and description of the request?

Invoking the command `last` with the `-F` flag will give all timestamps expanded so that they are human-readable whereas without using it, someone must run the calculations on its own. It would be more useful to have the human readable format; if not for all variations of the `last` command collected, at least for one full output from that command with the `-F`.

Currently, the output looks as follows:

[root@fastvm-rhel-9-3-219 ~]# last | tail
root     pts/0        192.168.90.1     Tue May 21 18:11 - 18:12  (00:00)
reboot   system boot  5.14.0-427.16.1. Tue May 21 18:11 - 18:50 (16+00:38)
root     pts/1        192.168.90.1     Tue May 21 14:44 - 18:11  (03:26)
root     pts/0        192.168.90.1     Tue May 21 14:44 - 18:10  (03:26)
reboot   system boot  5.14.0-427.16.1. Tue May 21 14:44 - 18:11  (03:26)
root     pts/1        192.168.90.1     Tue May 21 11:32 - 14:43  (03:11)
root     pts/0        192.168.90.1     Tue May 21 11:29 - 14:43  (03:14)
reboot   system boot  5.14.0-362.8.1.e Tue May 21 11:28 - 14:43  (03:15)

wtmp begins Tue May 21 11:28:43 2024

With `-F` flag, it would looks as follows:

[root@fastvm-rhel-9-3-219 ~]# last -F | tail
root     pts/0        192.168.90.1     Tue May 21 18:11:37 2024 - Tue May 21 18:12:32 2024  (00:00)
