Description
Currently the DQL Frontend Plugin renders anything coming from the backend as-is. This is fine for most data, but for dates and timestamps, Backstage recommends to render them formatted for the locale of the user ([ADR012](https://backstage.io/docs/architecture-decisions/adrs-adr012/)).
To comply with ADR012, we'd need to know that the given column is a date or timestamp and use `Luxon.toLocaleString` to render it accordingly.
This also pulls in the necessity to deal with `null` values when not all entries contain a date or timestamp, something that's currently covered by the DQL query itself (no logic on the Frontend side).
