Ensure string parsing routines are consistent
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: TEIID-745
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-745
             Project: Teiid
          Issue Type: Quality Risk
          Components: Common, Query Engine
    Affects Versions: 6.0.0
            Reporter: Steven Hawkins
            Assignee: Steven Hawkins
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 6.2.0

String parsing strictness varies depending upon whether a convert or a parse function is used.  In short we should:
1. Perform a trim prior to parsing (double and float converts already do this implicitly)
2. Use all non-whitespace characters in the parse string - the DateFormat, NumberFormat, and most of the convert methods allow for junk to appear after a successful parsing.
3. Time/Date/Timestamps should use non lenient parsing to disallow dates that are out of range, i.e. 2007-13-35
