We're receiving a message where the timestamps are in Epoch notation. ToDateTime and FromDateTime (and maybe other related functions) should be able to handle this so it can be treated and/or formatted in a human-readable format.

Make ITX functions TimeZone and DST aware

Currently when doing computations with timestamps across DST boundaries the functions (tealted to date/time) don't account for DST switches. This makes the result invalid. So in our case adding or substracting days from a timestamp doesn't take in...
