This pull request introduces enhancements to the SWMM Toolkit Python bindings, focusing on improved date/time handling and series alignment between solver and output modules. The main changes include new functions for date/time extraction and decoding, expanded SWIG typemaps for date components, and comprehensive tests to ensure correctness and alignment of time series data.

Date/Time Handling Improvements:

• Added new functions to extract date/time information (get_date_time, get_date_series) and decode date components (decode_date) in the SWIG interface and renamed them for Python API clarity. [1] [2]
• Expanded SWIG typemaps to support individual date/time components (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, dayOfWeek) and proper memory management for double arrays. [1] [2]
• Enabled exception-free handling for SMO_decodeDate in the SWIG interface.

Testing and Validation:

• Added new tests in test_output.py for date/time extraction, date series, and date decoding, validating monotonicity, spacing, and plausibility of decoded components.
• Introduced test_series.py to compare time-aligned solver and output series, ensuring matching time axes and values within tolerance using custom decimal digit checks.

Submodule Update:

• Updated the SWMM solver submodule to a newer commit, potentially bringing upstream improvements.
