Feature Request - Don't enforce local tz conversion in TickStore reads

[CSNoyes]

I have a lot of UTC FX data stored in arctic's tickstore. I think it would be nice to have a flag in TickStore.read() to not force conversion of read objects' indexes through the arctic mktz module. Perhaps something like a kwarg that allows you to either specify "mktz", another tz string, or None to disable conversion on read. It's strange that TickStore.max_date() does not enforce a conversion whereas read does.

seems reasonable, let me see what i can do

I haven't forgotten about this, I'm still working on it

@CSNoyes What's the actual issue here? All we're doing is sticking a timezone on the pandas index, so when the data is printed it looks sensible to the user. Is there some other issue I'm missing?
