allow date grouping in group-by (#8084)
# Description

This small change allows tables to be grouped by date. It was previously
failing because nushell didn't know how to represent the date as a
string. This change allows the date to be formatted in rfc3339 format
with subseconds represented as dot milliseconds. This formatted datetime
representation is already understood by nushell.

Now you can do things like 

### Grouping by the exact time
```
> ls | group-by modified | table
╭───────────────────────────────┬────────────────╮

### Grouping by only the date (truncating the time componenet to 0)
```
> ls | default "" date | update date {|r| $r.modified | date format '%Y-%m-%d' | into datetime} | group-by date | table

### Grouping and Displaying only the date (you could do this before this
PR too)
```

# Tests + Formatting

Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass

# After Submitting

If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
