Description
This would allow you to validate that either a number or a Time based column sits between some lower bounds and some upper bounds.
Something like this
```crystal
validate_between age, min: 30, max: 60
validate_between coupon, min: 2.days.ago, max: 2.days.from_now
```
We actually already have `validate_numeric` for validating that a number is within some range, so we could just make this for `Time` only, but I figure someone might reach for a number and wonder why it didn't work... We wouldn't get rid of `validate_numeric` though because with that you can set only a min or only a max and not care about the other bounds. With this you want to ensure that it's directly between the two.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing validate_numeric implementation and read how validation bounds are represented and tested. Define the validate_between behavior for numeric and Time columns, including both required lower and upper bounds, and verify the example calls reject values outside the interval.
