Add Unix Timestamp value type #1520

What this PR does / why we need it:
As discussed in Slack, so far, we don't want to support datetime dtypes in general. Therefore, so far we would need to convert any datetime data types into a unix timestamp and store it as an INT in feast.

While converting in unix timestamp is not an issue, it makes it hard to differentiate the features that are int vs timestamp when looking at a FeatureView

Thus this PR aims to introduce a new datatype "Unix Timestamp" that beyond the scene would be an INT. For the end user, this will make it easier understand a FeatureView.
It also add a potential possibility to do things differently with Unix Timestamp features at retrieval time.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

Add UnixTimestamp valueType that is an Int64 under the hood

Hi @MattDelac. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a feast-dev member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

Hey @MattDelac, thanks for the contribution!

Overall it looks good to me. One thing that is a glaring omissions (not with your PR but with our code) is that we're not testing all the different types. Regardless, we can add that test a bit later. I've added a note to add a test here.

I think the only thing missing here is an update to our documentation. You may need to update the specs to document the new type: https://github.com/feast-dev/feast/tree/master/docs/specs

Yes that was my surprise that none of the tests had to be changed

Sounds good. I let you fix it later 👌

Good catch ! Will look into the doc

Done. The docs are now up to date. Let me know if I missed another one.
