Description
- As a user of EvalML, I expect an estimator-ready dataframe when I call `transform_all_but_final()`. However, for time series problems, this dataframe includes the datetime column even if it is dropped before calling the estimator. Thus, the time index column should be dropped when `transform_all_but_final()` is called.
- In addition, as a user of EvalML, I would like to have a built-in pipeline function that I can call that drops the time index column. This exists as `_drop_time_index()`, but is not meant to be called publicly.
