Parse TOML timestamps (#8120)

Currently `fromTOML` throws an exception when encountering a timestamp
since the Nix language lacks a way to represent them.

This patch changes this beaviour and makes `fromTOML` parse timestamps as
attrsets of the format

  { _type = "timestamp"; value = "1979-05-27T07:32:00Z"; }

This is guarded by an experimental feature flag to leave room for iterating on the representation.
