Contains DateTime and DateTimeImmutable Doctrine DBAL types that store datetimes in UTC timezone (`TIMESTAMP` type in postgres).

For more detailed explanation see [Doctrine ORM docs](https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/2.6/cookbook/working-with-datetime.html#handling-different-timezones-with-the-datetime-type) and [this comment](https://github.com/simPod/doctrine-utcdatetime/issues/6#issuecomment-722343092).

For more info about usage in Doctrine ORM see [Doctrine documentation](https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/2.6/cookbook/working-with-datetime.html). The code is mostly copied from there.
