Wp-calypso: Posts: use relative date up to a month; after that show the exact date
Similar to how we show dates now with comments, let's show the relative date only for recent posts. Posts older than a month should show the exact date.
Bonus: improve the tool-tip date / time output. Currently it's difficult to read: 2017-09- 09T14:47:29-07:00. We could improve that to be something more readable, like: 2017-09-09 at 14:47.
Steps to reproduce
Go to Blog Posts for a site, and view the post card to see the post's publish date.
What I expected
To see the actual date and not elapsed time, for posts older than 1 month.

This is already addressed in the upcoming condensed post list redesign.
We used a cutoff of one week for switching to actual dates.

You can see this in action currently in production for CPTs.
I’ll create a backlog item to address the tooltip formatting.
