feat(packet_capture): add UTC ISO 8601 timestamp method and update timestamp usage

- Introduced a new static method `_utc_iso_timestamp` to generate UTC ISO 8601 timestamps with a 'Z' suffix for compatibility.
- Updated timestamp generation in `log_packet` and status message to utilize the new method, ensuring consistent timestamp formatting across the service.
- Added a unit test to verify the correct format of the new timestamp method.
