Description

.NET can write DateTime in internal format (preserves DateTime.Kind) and as Timestamp (does not allow non-UTC values).

By default we use internal format. To use Timestamp user has to mark field with QuerySqlField (non obvious), or override IBinarizable.

• Provide a dedicated attribute to enforce timestamp mode.
• Attribute can be applied to a field, property, or a whole type
• Provide a property on BinaryReflectiveSerializer to force Timestamp everywhere - this may be needed when class code can't be modified
