Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
I want to be able to cast a string that is delimited with "/" to a date the same way that you can when it is delimited with "-". Postgres supports both.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing DataFusion's string-to-date cast handling and its existing behavior for hyphen-delimited dates. Confirm that slash-delimited input is accepted consistently with PostgreSQL, and add or update regression coverage; done means the requested cast succeeds.
