Subject: [PATCH] add `table -> table` to `into datetime` (#9775)

should close https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9774

# Description
given the help page of `into datetime`,
```
Parameters:
  ...rest <cellpath>: for a data structure input, convert data at the given cell paths
```
it looks like `into datetime` should accept tables as input :thinking:

this PR
- adds the `table -> table` signature to `into datetime`
- adds a test to make sure the behaviour stays there
