Review Comment:
   In 
sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/expressions/datetimeExpressions.scala:2046,
 :2086, :3238 and 
sql/api/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/functions.scala:12662 — These 
input-type docs still say numeric input is accepted, without saying that this 
only holds when `fmt` is omitted. That now contradicts the type error this PR 
makes official.
   
   - The three `datetimeExpressions.scala` lines are the `timestamp_str` 
entries in the `arguments` blocks of `to_timestamp_ltz`, `try_to_timestamp` and 
`to_timestamp`: "An expression that evaluates to a string, date, timestamp, or 
numeric." Users see this text in the SQL function reference and in `DESCRIBE 
FUNCTION EXTENDED`.
   - `functions.scala:12662` is the `@param s` doc of `try_to_timestamp(s: 
Column, format: Column)`. That overload always takes a format, so numeric input 
is never valid for it.
   - SPARK-58085 wrote these lines by hand, based on what each expression 
accepts and rejects. They should get a qualifier, e.g. "a string, date, or 
timestamp; or a numeric when `fmt` is omitted". The PySpark docstrings have the 
same sentence (python/pyspark/sql/functions/builtin.py:12841, :12995, :14750) 
and can be updated at the same time.
