This should be separate from Timestamp. To start I would like to be incredibly conservative about any comparisons with these types, and not treat timestamp and timestamptz as interchangeable. I'm not super well versed in the semantics of this type -- it does sound like it mostly ends up being UTC on the backend, so we might be able to loosen this later.

Add support for timestamp with time zone
This adds support for the `timestamp with time zone` type. This is part
of the SQL standard, but not supported explicitly by SQLite as far as I
can tell. As such I've made it a PG specific type for now.

timestamp with time zone does not actually mean that a time zone is
stored. It instead means that when dealing with strings, Postgres will
no longer ignore the time zone portion. It will convert the time zone to
UTC for storage. When transmitted as text, it will be converted to the
database's local time zone. When transmitted as binary, it will be sent
as UTC.

As such, I've provided `ToSql` implementations for basically all flavors
of `DateTime`, but I've only provided a `FromSql` implementation for
`DateTime<UTC>` and `NaiveDateTime`. I have not provided any
implementation for `std::time::SystemTime`, as it implies local time
zone for the machine and we do not have the tools to handle the
conversion in the standard library.

Fixes #106.
Fixes #295.
Fixes #402.

Please show how to use this Timestamptz. I am having error infer_schema on db for timestamp pg fields.
need more examples covering a practical pg table implementation. I am trying to migrate old django projects in to Iron+Diesel and having issues here.
