Fix date functions to take into account the timezone setting (#2947)

Issues - 

When the timezone parameter group setting is set to something other than the default UTC, Babelfish date
related functions like SYSDATETIME(), SYSDATETIMEOFFSET(), GETDATE() and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP don't take it
into account, while they should. The same issue occurs with a session-level timezone parameter.
SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() function returns datetimeoffset which does not store timezone due to incorrect casting
function.

Changes made to fix the issues -

Added appropriate CAST from TIMESTAMP to respective return types of date functions to ensure proper accounting for
timezone setting. Added timestamptz_datetimeoffset function for converting timestamp with time zone to
datetimeoffset. It ensures to store timezone property similar to timestamptz_datetime2 and timestamptz_datetime
functions.
