Updates the timezones guide and dimensions reference based on docs/timezone-handling.md in lightdash/lightdash and PR #22762.

guides/developer/timezones.mdx

  • Reframed "Timezone settings" around the two settings (project + data) up front.
  • Expanded Project query timezone to cover its full scope: relative date filters, DATE_TRUNC grouping, EXTRACT-based intervals, result display (table cells, chart axes, tooltips, CSV/Excel/Sheets exports, resolved-TZ badge), and the DATE-base-dimension bypass.
  • Added Per-dimension display opt-out section documenting convert_timezone: false (Beta callout).
  • Added Data timezone section with Experimental callout (EnableTimezoneSupport), session-command behavior, BigQuery/Athena gap, and the warehouse support table.
  • Updated workarounds to point at the data timezone and convert_timezone: false where relevant.
  • Updated summary table.

references/dimensions.mdx

  • Added convert_timezone row to the dimension properties table.
  • Added a Convert timezone section linking back to the timezones guide.

Maturity callouts mirror the format used in guides/data-apps, references/workspace/user-impersonation, and the existing Custom granularities section.

Closes: https://linear.app/lightdash/issue/GLITCH-294/update-timezone-documentation-with-full-feature-behavior
