Allow int input when using a formatstring in into datetime (#13541)
# Description

When using a format string, `into datetime` would disallow an `int` even
when it logically made sense. This was mainly a problem when attempting
to convert a Unix epoch to Nushell `datetime`. Unix epochs are often
stored or returned as `int` in external data sources.

```nu
1722821463 | into datetime -f '%s'
Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type

  × Input type not supported.
   ╭─[entry #3:1:1]
 1 │ 1722821463 | into datetime -f '%s'
   · ─────┬────   ──────┬──────
   ·      │             ╰── only string input data is supported
   ·      ╰── input type: int
   ╰────
```

While the solution was simply to `| to text` the `int`, this PR handles
the use-case automatically.

Essentially a ~5 line change that just moves the current parsing to a
closure that is called for both Strings and Ints-converted-to-Strings.

# User-Facing Changes

After the change:

```nu
[
  1722821463
  "1722821463"
  0
] | each { into datetime -f '%s' }
