Update the way the stat_analysis wrapper reads time

[CPKalb]

Describe the Enhancement

Currently, the stat analysis wrapper expects time formats to be in YYYYMMDD. This should be updated to read the VALID_TIME_FMT or INIT_TIME_FMT and use that format. It's uncertain whether the hours, minutes, and seconds should be used or left off.

Time Estimate

?? This could be worked on at the same time as issue 1082
