Format date to hh:mm (remove seconds)

Example usage:

var grIncAlertTask = new GlideRecord('incident_alert_task');

if (grIncAlertTask.get('e84465641b026010f0dc85e4464bxxxx')) {

var util = new mimDateUtil(grIncAlertTask.incident_alert.source_incident);

util.setTimeFormat('hh:mm');

gs.print(util.formatDateField('sys_created_on'));

}
