Dates and Timestamps retrieved from Postgres are offset incorrectly based on the local time zone

[AbhilakshSinghReen]

In the @databases/pg package, dates and timestamps returned on querying the Postgres DB are not the same as what is stored in the DB. Instead, they are offset by the negative of the local timezone.

1. This issue also occurs in the @databases/mysql package but it can be easily fixed by passing timeZone in the config while creating a connection pool. However, after looking at the code, I can't find a similar timezone configuration in @databases/pg.
2. This issue does not occur if we use the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype.

Steps to reproduce

I've created a Git Repo that can be used for easy reproduction of this issue. git clone https://github.com/AbhilakshSinghReen/atdatabases-timezone-bug/tree/postgres-timezone-bug Go to the repo directory npm install node src\index.js

Expected Behavior

The dates and timestamps returned on running a SELECT query should be the same as those displayed in PgAdmin.

Actual Behavior

The dates and timestamps returned on running a SELECT query are offset by a certain amount depending on the local timezone.

@ForbesLindesay, if you could point me to the file where a change is required, I might be able to submit a PR to fix this issue.
