Description
Currently, when you declare a timestamp field, you can define several input formats and one output format. Internally, Quickwit parses the input value and stores the parsed value in the doc store.
On a search query, we thus return the datetime value in the defined output format.
We want to be able to return the same datetime value (same format) as the one in the original document that was indexed. (Note that this is the default behavior of Elasticsearch).

Research direction
Start by tracing timestamp parsing, the doc store representation, and the search response path described in the issue. Determine how the original datetime representation could be retained alongside the parsed value, and define the expected behavior for multiple input formats. Done means indexed documents return their original datetime format while existing output-format behavior remains supported.
