Add Jedi string method to datetime

PR Summary

Code Reviewer: mo-lucy-gordon

This is a small PR adding a new method to the datetime object, allowing it to be written as a ISO datetime string compatible with JEDI systems. The process of converting between LFRic and JEDI compatible datetime strings is currently hard-coded in lfric-jedi, which would be bad for maintainability down the line.

The new method is largely a copy of the current to_string one, just adjusting the characters used in the output string.

Thanks for the update - looks good. See small comment below.

I would be inclined to rename this method to: to_iso_string.
