[openstreetmap-website] Switch to TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE for current_* tables (#375)

As all the data in our database is in UTC it is not clear to me why we need to store a time zone - that should only be needed when you have data in a mix of time zones so that you can correctly compare them and do calculations involving mixed time zones.

You're going to need a much more convincing argument to get a massive change like this through.
