Make pipelines aware of a timezone configuration #249

Why? 📖

While Spark's TimestampType timezone is controlled by the spark.sql.session.timeZone configuration option, python's datetime objects have their timezone controlled by the system's timezone (when they don't have a fixed tz suffix). This means some transformations can have their timestamps converted in different ways when running on different systems.

An example of possible irregular results happens when we automatically set the start_date of AggregatedFeatureSets (here). Sometimes the spark and the system can have different timezones, meaning that the timestamp coming from the spark dataframe, when collected into plain python as a datetime object can change, generating a start_date different then expected.

What? 🔧

This PR proposes to apply a timezone configuration that should be aware by each pipeline and that should be the same between spark and system. This timezone is configurable.

LGTM! You could, however, add a test. What do you think?

I'd just inform here that spark con config (spark.sql.session.timeZone) and an env variable (TZ) will be set with this value.
