Extend PI Data Archive time zone setting support

Currently PI DataLink allows you to select the PI Data Archive time zone setting however this setting only applies to data items or expressions that contain either a PI point or a PI AF attribute that is a PI point data reference. If the data item or expression contains a PI AF attribute that is not a PI point data reference, PI DataLink interprets the input and output time stamps as being in the client-workstation time zone. I would like the setting to support other data reference types as well.

I can adjust my client timezone machine or not use formula data references but that introduces unnecessary complexities in my opinion. Using the PI Data Archive time zone setting is a little misleading if it doesn't apply to every context in which it is used in. Many users might be interacting with DataLink unaware there are formula data references being used on the backend which could lead to skewed reporting.
