* reparse Dates assuming local if they're not UTC

* try setting specific TimeZone offset

* actions for code review comments

* seperate the Timestamp* tests

* add missing license to AvroDecimalTests

> By not supporting Logical Types, the C# Avro implementation is severely limited in terms of its interoperability in heterogeneous environments. While the implementation will safely ignore logical type declarations in processed schemas; at runtime the semantics of a "date" for example, will be lost when receiving an Avro payload that was encoded by the Java platform using the same schema. The C# implementation will never be able to retrieve the date value from the encoded int.
> I propose that the C# Avro implementation be extended to support the Logical Types as defined by the current specification. I have also explored the lang/csharp codebase and believe that I could produce a PR to support this.
