Rationale for this change
Closes #44248
Arrow has no built-in canonical way of representing the
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONESQL type, which is present across multiple different database systems. Not having a native way to represent this forces users to either convert to UTC and drop the time zone, which may have correctness implications, or use bespoke workarounds. A newarrow.timestamp_with_offsetextension type would introduce a standard canonical way of representing that information.Rust implementation: apache/arrow-rs#8743
Go implementation: apache/arrow-go#558
