Description

The `INTERVAL 1 WEEK` syntax in SQL is resolving to `PT1H`.

### Affected Version

Found in Apache Druid 33.0.0

### Description

Most easily detected by running this SQL query in Unified Console Workbench:
```
SELECT
MILLIS_TO_TIMESTAMP(0) + INTERVAL 1 WEEK,
MILLIS_TO_TIMESTAMP(0) + INTERVAL 2 WEEK
```
Expected Results:
```
EXPR$0,EXPR$1
1970-01-08T00:00:00.000Z,1970-01-15T00:00:00.000Z
```
Actual Results:
```
EXPR$0,EXPR$1
1970-01-01T01:00:00.000Z,1970-01-01T02:00:00.000Z
```

Research direction

Start in the Unified Console Workbench by running the SQL query from the issue and comparing both interval results with the expected timestamps. Trace how Druid interprets WEEK intervals, then verify that INTERVAL 1 WEEK and INTERVAL 2 WEEK produce seven- and fourteen-day offsets rather than one- and two-hour offsets.
