Bug #47164	"Download diagnostic report" .zip file names not unique enough

Description:
Having 2 separate server instances the .zip support file name "Download diagnostic report" is the same. This may be confusing, finding which is the latest file created, if it's necessary during the same day to download and provide this information to MySQL support.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
I would suggest ensuring that each filename is unique and also that the "server instance" is taken into account.

* add the monitor server server name (or part of) as part of the file name.
* multiple instances on a server is possible, include port # (if not 18080).
* add the date and time the file is generated instead of just the date.

Note: servers can be reached by hostname:port that is where tomcat binds to.

If tomcat binds to 0.0.0.0 then use the hostname. If it binds to a specific address then use that: 192_1_2_3. Include the port as more than one server may be bound to the port.

So hostname.domain.com_port_number might be a good thing to add (":"'s in a filename are not a good thing to use on unix)

Verified fixed in service manager build 2.1.1.1104.

Docs: After documenting this fix, please set the bug back to 'QA testing' for testing in version 2.2.0.

Verified that full time stamp is added to the file name.

A note has been added to the 2.1.1 and 2.2 changelog: 

The diagnostic report file has been updated so that the filename of the report includes the timestamp when the report was generated.
