Rationale:
I have many models that currently use DateTimeOffset to map entities and I would like to serialize these without creating mapping models.
I am aware that DateTimeOffset was previously removed due to confusion but I have added additional checks to try and mitigate this.
The Logical Timestamp helps with this as we can refuse to decode a Timestamp to DateTimeOffset when it is not in UTC. As this invites errors and can cause confusion. (DateTime avoids this by allowing you to stipulate the kind as Local).
This is my follow up to #521
