Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
Not sure if this is a bug but I found the behavior surprising
```
>>> import pyarrow as pa
>>> pa.timestamp("us", "utc") == pa.timestamp("us", "utc")
True
>>> pa.timestamp("us", "utc") == pa.timestamp("us", "UTC")
False
```
I suppose it is doing a very literal string comparison on the timezone
