Workaround pandas bug in datetimes with time zones (#3910)

A bug in to_dict(orient="records") in pandas/core/frame.py prevents
datetimes with time zones to be worked with. This works around the
issue in superset by re-implementing the logic of pandas in the
correct way. Until pandas fixes the issue this code should stay.

This closes #1929
