Description

Implement a validator for time strings without date components (HH:MM:SS format).

Requirements:

  • Support 12h and 24h formats
  • Optionally validate seconds and milliseconds
  • Provide timezone support
  • Add examples for schedule/cron-like validations

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review existing validators in the provider to understand the pattern (e.g., validation function signature, integration with Terraform schema). Implement a new `time only` validator that parses time strings (HH:MM:SS) with support for 12h/24h formats, optional seconds/milliseconds, and timezone handling. Use Go's `time.Parse` for format matching. Provide examples for schedule/cron like use cases.
