Rationale for this change
@mhilton noticed this as part of an internal discussion where we were confused about the output values of
date_bin
for timestamps with timezones (as the default argument is for the unix EPOCH in UTC)The default is defined here: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/3a9e23d138c935ffea68408899016c9323aa0f36/datafusion/physical-expr/src/datetime_expressions.rs#L534C1-L538
