Fixes: Datetime casting bug

Description

Querying time filterable endpoints such as queries and urgency-queries with intra-day date-time parameters result in query results for the full day being returned. This is as a result of behaviour described here.

When passing datetime objects, the instance check will always pass since datetime is a date subclass. This will then set the date parameters to the start and end of the days respectively.

Local tests are complaining about duplicated CLI args in core_backend/validation/urgency_detection/conftest.py. I get this even when running pytest -vv in main, so I'm not sure what I'm missing there. I also attempted a mkdocs build to account for the updated docstrings but I don't notice any changes as a result.

Goal

To allow intraday datetimes.

Changes

These changes involve removing date support and relying solely on datetime arguments for these endpoints. This is standard practice.
