Maxim Gekk d72571e51d [SPARK-26246][SQL] Inferring TimestampType from JSON
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

The `JsonInferSchema` class is extended to support `TimestampType` inferring from string fields in JSON input:
- If the `prefersDecimal` option is set to `true`, it tries to infer decimal type from the string field.
- If decimal type inference fails or `prefersDecimal` is disabled, `JsonInferSchema` tries to infer `TimestampType`.
- If timestamp type inference fails, `StringType` is returned as the inferred type.

## How was this patch tested?

Added new test suite - `JsonInferSchemaSuite` to check date and timestamp types inferring from JSON using `JsonInferSchema` directly. A few tests were added `JsonSuite` to check type merging and roundtrip tests. This changes was tested by `JsonSuite`, `JsonExpressionsSuite` and `JsonFunctionsSuite` as well.

Closes #23201 from MaxGekk/json-infer-time.
