Incremental start/end time parameters do not have validation

[hudi-bot]

Incremental timestamps should support taking in yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS, or ISO timestamps like 2025-01-02 or 2025-01-02T03:04:56.789, etc, or epoch seconds or mills.

Currently, random numbers like 42 can be passed to it and go through.

It should validate the input and fail as soon as the input is not in the expected format. Same goes for time-travel query.
