Csaba Ringhofer dc32bf7703 IMPALA-7362: Add query option to set timezone
This change adds a new query option "timezone" which
defines the timezone used for utc<->local conversions.
The main goal is to simplify testing, but I think that
some users may also find it useful so it is added as a
"general" query option.

Examples:
set timezone=UTC;
set timezone="Europe/Budapest"

The timezones are validated, but as query options are not
sent to the coordinator immediately, the error checking
will only happen when running a query.

Leading/trailing " and 'characters are stripped because the
/ character cannot be entered unquoted in some contexts.

Currently the timezone has effect in the following cases:
-function now()
-conversions between unix time and timestamp if flag
 use_local_tz_for_unix_timestamp_conversions is true
-reading parquet timestamps written by Hive if flag
 convert_legacy_hive_parquet_utc_timestamps is true

In the near future Parquet timestamps's isAdjustedToUTC
property will be supported, which will decide whether
to do utc->local conversion on a per file+column basis.
This conversion will be also affected.

Testing:
- Extended test_local_tz_conversion.py to actually
  test utc<->local conversion. Until now the effect
  of flag use_local_tz_for_unix_timestamp_conversions
  was practically untested.
- Added a shell test to check that the default of the
  query option is the system's timezone.
- Added a shell test to check timezone validation.
