Fix pointer receiver handling in queryparams marshaler

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
`Time.MarshalQueryParameter()` and `Time.MarshalJSON()` try to handle nil pointer object (they call `t.IsZero()` which checks if t == nil) but fail because receiver is not a pointer so the dereference needed to pass it as receiver to these methods fails with npe.
In practice this happens with `Unstructured.SetDeletionTimestamp(Unstructured.GetDeletionTimestamp())`.

Here is the stacktrace of the failing test if receiver is not a pointer.
