Fixes#7141
This change adds support for casting strings to Timestamp via CAST:
`CAST('2010T' AS TIMESTAMP)`
It also implements the following date-time functions:
- UTCNOW()
- DATE_ADD()
- DATE_DIFF()
- EXTRACT()
For values passed to these functions, date-types are automatically
inferred.
- New parser written from scratch, allows easier and complete parsing
of the full S3 Select SQL syntax. Parser definition is directly
provided by the AST defined for the SQL grammar.
- Bring support to parse and interpret SQL involving JSON path
expressions; evaluation of JSON path expressions will be
subsequently added.
- Bring automatic type inference and conversion for untyped
values (e.g. CSV data).
