IMHO, the offset should not be added to `TimeWindow`. It is only the
assigners that would shift the start time/end time of a window. This way, other
parts of the code don't need to be aware of offsets, as they are in the current
state of this PR.

> Currently, windows are always aligned to EPOCH, which basically means days
> are aligned with GMT. This is somewhat problematic for people living in
> different timezones.
> And offset parameter would allow to adapt the window assigner to the timezone.
