Description
### Description
Hello,
At present time you can specify the type of a QuickSight dataset column (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-quicksight-dataset-inputcolumn.html#cfn-quicksight-dataset-inputcolumn-type) but in the case of DATETIME you have no possibility to specify the format('yyyy-MM-dd' for example).
Would it possible to implement this feature?
Thank You,
### Use Case
To be able to completely automatize the creation of a QuickSight dataset.
### Proposed Solution
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-quicksight-dataset-inputcolumn.html
columns: [
{ name: 'country_name', type: 'STRING' },
{ name: 'start_date', type: 'DATETIME'**, format: 'yyyy-MM-dd'** },
],
### Other information

### Acknowledge
- [ ] I may be able to implement this feature request
- [ ] This feature might incur a breaking change

Research direction
Review the linked AWS CloudFormation input-column documentation and the existing QuickSight dataset API. Determine where the DATETIME column definition is represented and how related properties are tested. Done means supporting the proposed format value while preserving existing column behavior and covering it with tests.
