truncateTimeColumn() function

truncateTimeColumn() truncates all input time values in the _time to a specified unit.

Truncate to weeks

When truncating a time value to the week (1w), weeks are determined using the Unix epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z UTC). The Unix epoch was on a Thursday, so all calculated weeks begin on Thursday.
