URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7140
The `Date` data types can cast to a `Timestamp`, as long as no time zone is
specified. But you can't cast into a timezone aware timestamp.
For example:
```bash
> select to_char(arrow_cast('2023-09-04'::date, 'Timestamp(Second, None)'),
'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%.3f');
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| to_char(arrow_cast(Utf8("2023-09-04"),Utf8("Timestamp(Second,
None)")),Utf8("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%.3f")) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2023-09-04T00:00:00.000
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row(s) fetched.
> select to_char(arrow_cast('2023-09-04'::date, 'Timestamp(Second,
Some("UTC"))'), '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%.3f');
# doesn't work!
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Update the casting rules in `arrow-cast` such that `Date32` and `Date64` can
cast into a timezone aware timestamp.
