Timezones for `DateTime` fields about typesystem HOT 1 OPEN

@tomchristie What are your thoughts on normalizing timezones to UTC on serialization? Most RDBMS's will return localized datetimes to clients

All timezone-aware dates and times are stored internally in UTC. They are converted to local time in the zone specified by the TimeZone configuration parameter before being displayed to the client.

I see that typesystem does not convert datetimes to UTC, and marshmallow recently changed to do the same.

But one could argue that UTC normalization is a view-level concern rather than model-level concern, so perhaps it makes sense for serialization libs to take care of this. What do you think?
