URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/22405

   ### SUMMARY
   When exploring a query containing a temporal column I noticed that the query 
would fail unless persisted as a virtual dataset when the `GENERIC_CHART_AXES` 
feature flag is enabled. Digging around I noticed that the 
`superset.models.helpers` module duplicates essentially all logic from the 
`superset.connectors.sqla.models` module. From a maintenance perspective this 
is highly problematic, as the SQLA connector model is by far one of the biggest 
pieces of tech debt in the backend, along with being very fragile and often 
updated with minor fixes. Duplicating this code without having tests in place 
to ensure that they're in sync makes it difficult for contributors to know that 
changes need to be applied in both modules.
   
   This is just a hotfix to make the `Query` class from the helpers module work 
with `GENERIC_X_AXES`. However, IMO we need to deduplicate this code ASAP, as 
they've already diverged quite a lot, with many fixes to the SQLA model not 
having made their way into the helpers module (#22280 is an example of such).
   
   ### AFTER
   Now a query that hasn't been saved as a virtual dataset works with temporal 
filters:

   ### BEFORE
   Previously the same chart would fail.
