Title: BUG: Arithmetic, timezone and offsets operations affecting to NaT

NaT affected by some datetime related ops unexpectedly.

# Arithmetic
Applying arithmetic ops to `NaT` is not handled properly. Based on numpy results, I understand that results should be all `NaT` as long as valid data is passed.

```
# current results
>>> pd.NaT + pd.offsets.Hour(1)
2262-04-11 01:12:43.145224192
>>> pd.NaT - pd.offsets.Hour(1))
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long
>>> pd.NaT - pd.Timestamp('2011-01-01')
-734779 days, 0:00:00

# numpy
>>> np.datetime64('nat') + np.timedelta64(1, 'h')
NaT
>>> np.datetime64('nat') - np.timedelta64(1, 'h')
NaT
>>> np.datetime64('nat') - np.datetime64('2011-01-01')
NaT
```

# Timezone
Closes #5546.
```
# current results
>>> idx = pd.DatetimeIndex(['2011-01-01 00:00', '2011-01-02 00:00', pd.NaT])
>>> idx.tz_localize('Asia/Tokyo')

[2011-01-01 00:00:00+09:00, ..., 2262-04-10 00:12:43.145224192+09:00]
Length: 3, Freq: None, Timezone: Asia/Tokyo

>>> idx = pd.DatetimeIndex(['2011-01-01 00:00', '2011-01-02 00:00', pd.NaT], tz='US/Eastern')
>>> idx.tz_convert('Asia/Tokyo')

[2011-01-01 14:00:00+09:00, ..., 2262-04-11 14:12:43.145224192+09:00]
```
*Note* I fixed `DatetimeIndex`, and I leave `NatType` still doesn't have `tz_localize` and `tz_convert` methods `Timestamp` has. Is it should be added?

# Offsets
These have `apply` method which accepts `Timestamp`, but it cannot handle `Nat`.

```
# current result
>>> pd.offsets.Hour(1).apply(pd.NaT)
2262-04-11 01:12:43.145224192
```
