[Feat] library: Add Standard parser options for date and time #3749

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Modules that process spatio-temporal data often use date and time input. It would be useful to have some standard parser options for date and time input for consistency. If such a standard parser options would be accompanied by dedicated input wigets in the GUI that would improve the user experience.

Describe the solution you'd like Standard parser options for date and time input, like e.g.:

Additional context Both date and time may come in different formats. So, implementing such options may have some pitfalls (along with e.g. the concept of "relative_time" in TGIS.

Sounds good. The option may have good description without enforcing a specific format. Even that would be useful. Note that for the GUI you may need to introduce more than just the standard option. The info about the standard option is not currently preserved in the metadata. GUI uses gisprompt and other things to determine what widget to generate.
