Deprecate now() helper - kenjis - 08-25-2022
I would like to deprecate now() helper.
It seems now() with a timezone returns unexpected or confusing result.
See https://forum.codeigniter.com/showthread.php?tid=82808
CI4 has the Time class. We don't need to use now().

now() was being used to set the MySQLi datetime and timestamp in the database.
But I'm sure we can work around this, if you want to remove it.

Do you use the Date helper `now()` in your code?
If so, do you use the timezone parameter?

Orginally the helper now() was not in the new CI so I created a method to just return the date time.
