Time input provider for TextValidateField. Provides time editing with culture-aware formatting, supporting both 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

Remarks

This provider parses the LongTimePattern to determine:

<ul><li>12-hour (h/hh) vs 24-hour (H/HH) format</li><li>Presence of AM/PM designator (tt)</li><li>Time separator character</li><li>Dynamic field width based on pattern</li></ul>

The cursor automatically skips over separator characters and AM/PM designators during navigation. For 12-hour formats, typing 'A' or 'P' on the AM/PM position toggles between AM and PM.
