function date_views_set_timezone

Central function for setting up the right timezone values.

In the SQL date handler.

The date handler will use this information to decide if the database value needs a timezone conversion.

In Views, we will always be comparing to a local date value, so the goal is to convert the database value to the right value to compare to the local value.
