Temporal-based date and time utilities with timezone support and polyfill integration

/**
 * Return the combined span of two datetime intervals, or null when they are disjoint.
 *
 * - Uses `Temporal.PlainDateTime.compare` for comparison.
 * - Overlapping intervals return their merged span.
 * - Adjacent intervals (e.g. `aEnd === bStart`) share one instant and ARE merged.
 * - Returns `null` if either interval is invalid (`start > end`).
 * - Returns `null` on invalid input (wrong type, malformed strings).
 *
 * @param aStart ISO 8601 datetime string for the first interval start
 * @param aEnd ISO 8601 datetime string for the first interval end
 * @param bStart ISO 8601 datetime string for the second interval start
 * @param bEnd ISO 8601 datetime string for the second interval end
 * @returns `{ start, end }` with the merged span, or null on invalid input / disjoint intervals
 *
 * @example intervalUnionDateTime("2024-01-01T10:00:00", "2024-06-30T23:59:59", "2024-04-01T00:00:00", "2024-12-31T23:59:59") // { start: "2024-01-01T10:00:00", end: "2024-12-31T23:59:59" }
