Which issue does this PR close?

Closes #7849.

Rationale for this change

Currently operations that one might reasonable expect to succeed using date_bin and mixing TIMESTAMP and TIMESTAMPTZ types error because the type coercion cannot coerce to a supported set of parameters.

What changes are included in this PR?

Add coercion rules to support coercion from timestamp types without a timezone to a timestamp with a timezone. Like with the coercion of strings or numeric constants, when a function requires the TIMEZONE_WILDCARD placeholder timezone "+00" will be used as the timezone offset.

Are these changes tested?

Yes, I have added an sqllogictest for the exact case I would like to see supported.

Are there any user-facing changes?

No

Add coercion rules to support coercion from timestamp types without
a timezone to a timestamp with a timezone. Like with the coercion
of strings or numeric constants, when a function requires the
TIMEZONE_WILDCARD placeholder timezone "+00" will be used as the
timezone offset.

This makes sense to me -- thank you @mhilton

I suggest we also add a cast for a comparison, it is isn't there already, as I believe the code changed in this PR is only used for coercing function arguments. Something like this, perhaps:

select TIMESTAMPTZ '2022-01-01 20:10:00Z' = TIMESTAMP '2020-01-01')

Add additional SQL logic test suggested in review.
Add a positive test case for TIMESTAMPTZ and TIMESTAMP comparison.
