DateTime now maps to the PG timestamptz type by default, which represents a UTC timestamp; this aligns with Npgsql and EF Core. However, now that we have property annotations, I've also added a new `WithStoreType()` that allows the user to specify a database type explicitly. For now, this is only supported for setting `timestamp with time zone` (short: `timestamp`), which is the other PG date/time type, for unspecified timestamps (timezone is unknown or implicitly assumed). This allows users who do want to store non-UTC timestamp to do so. Closes #10641
