Pull Request Overview

This PR adds system-managed timestamp properties (created_date, created_date_millis, modified_date, and modified_date_millis) to three Elasticsearch entity types: ingest pipelines, component templates, and index templates. These properties provide creation and modification tracking for better entity management.

• Introduces a new DateString type for ISO 8601 formatted date strings
• Adds four timestamp fields to Pipeline, ComponentTemplateNode, and IndexTemplate classes
• Updates example responses to include the new timestamp properties

• The dates are inconsistent - created_date is 2024-01-01 but modified_date is 2025-01-01, which means the entity was modified before it was created. The created_date should be earlier than or equal to the modified_date.
