Review Comment:
   It seems to me that this cast / comparsion  should be done at the 
application layer (aka the thing calling the parquet writer). My rationale is 
that there are many other places in the codbase that compare arrays based on 
exact equality of DataType, and don't do this timezone normalization.
   
   Perhaps in the iceberg code you could add a call to 
[`cast`](https://docs.rs/arrow/latest/arrow/compute/kernels/cast/fn.cast.html) 
for all columns before you pass it to the parquet writer . The `cast` is a noop 
for arrays of the already correct type
