URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/12218
### Describe the bug
Using the `::timestamp` (or CAST()) function strips timezone information.
### To Reproduce
```
DataFusion CLI v40.0.0
> select arrow_typeof(now()) as tz;
+---------------------------------------+
| tz |
+---------------------------------------+
| Timestamp(Nanosecond, Some("+00:00")) |
+---------------------------------------+
> select arrow_typeof(now()::timestamp) as tz;
+-----------------------------+
| tz |
+-----------------------------+
| Timestamp(Nanosecond, None) |
+-----------------------------+
> select arrow_typeof((now() AT TIME ZONE 'America/Denver')::timestamp) as
tz;
+-----------------------------+
| tz |
+-----------------------------+
| Timestamp(Nanosecond, None) |
+-----------------------------+
```
Or as seen with actual values:
```
DataFusion CLI v40.0.0
> select now();
+-----------------------------+
| now() |
+-----------------------------+
| 2024-08-28T17:08:08.698528Z |
+-----------------------------+
> select (now() AT TIME ZONE 'America/Denver');
+----------------------------------+
| now() |
+----------------------------------+
| 2024-08-28T11:08:13.578025-06:00 |
+----------------------------------+
> select now()::timestamp;
+----------------------------+
| now() |
+----------------------------+
| 2024-08-28T17:08:17.228985 |
+----------------------------+
> select (now() AT TIME ZONE 'America/Denver')::timestamp;
+----------------------------+
| now() |
+----------------------------+
| 2024-08-28T17:08:20.042920 |
+----------------------------+
```
### Expected behavior
I would expect that using the `::timestamp` cast on a timestamp would not
impact its timezone. This is how Postgres behaves.
```
postgres@localhost:postgres> select now()::timestamp
+----------------------------+
| now |
|----------------------------|
| 2024-08-28 17:05:07.779323 |
+----------------------------+
postgres@localhost:postgres> select (now() at time zone
'America/Denver')::timestamp
+----------------------------+
| timezone |
|----------------------------|
| 2024-08-28 11:05:09.275359 |
+----------------------------+
```
