[EuiDatePicker] Fix utcOffset prop not affecting the underlying react-datepicker lib

[thompsongl]

After reviewing #3436, it doesn't appear that the utcOffset prop in EuiDatePicker does what it says/what we think.

In the docs, the actual UTC offset is done on selected value itself:

eui/src-docs/src/views/date_picker/utc.js

Lines 43 to 45 in 12074a5

	const selected =
	this.state.startDate &&
	this.state.startDate.clone().utcOffset(this.state.utcOffset);

And passing just the offset value via the utcOffset prop has no effect.

As such, simply passing through utcOffset to EuiSuperDatePicker also has no effect.

There are 0 usages in Kibana so it's hard to track correct usage and output.

FWIW, utcOffset is from react-datepicker, but it was removed from the API in a version more recent than the EUI fork.

+1 - is there another known way to display times in a different TZ from the user's browser TZ?

Currently you'd need to mimic the code snippet above and use moment manipulation (.utcOffset())

BUMP. I'm very interested in being able to apply utcOffset to all dates in the EuiDatePicker/EuiSuperDatePicker as all of the data in my application uses UTC.

bump x2, how do we display time in anything other than the local timezone.

Thanks all for the bumps - going to go ahead and re-open this and mark it as a bug.
