Description

As per ARROW-13168 we lack tzdb on Windows and so many operations on timestamp with timezone are not implemented. However, many of them could be implemented for the special case of UTC, e.g. casting timestamp[s, UTC] to string on Windows could be implemented without needing tzdb.

Follow up to ARROW-14231.
