Description
## Background
As the timestamp pattern supports all kinds of way how to enter the timezone, inlcuding offset (e.g. -05:00), it would be consistent if schema's `timezone` metadata entry would support the same. Right now it supports only time zone via their Ids.
## Feature
Support offset entries for `timezone` metadata
Validator accepts these values
## Proposed Solution
Solution Ideas
1. Some mapping from offsets to the Spark supported time zone names
