Description

Currently the wording for DATE_FORMAT, TIME_FORMAT and TIMESTAMP_FORMAT in

org.apache.nifi.serialization.DateTimeUtils 

reference Simple Date Format when in fact the underlying logic uses

java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter

and not

java.text.SimpleDataFormat

and as seen in NIFI-13557 there are subtitles between these two classes.
The wording in DATE_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT should be reworded to indicate these use DateTimeFormatter formats.
