Ensure dates are not turned to arrays by processor

[miken32]

Resolves #3156 and lets the transformer deal with date formatting as intended.

@miken32 the patch is intended for Collection, right? I tried using an Eloquent model with a date but the serialization is still the same and returns something like 2024-08-11T10:23:57.000000Z where the expectation is 2024-08-11 10:23:57.

The update was to the helper class so I would have expected it to apply to both, but I was unable to check with a query builder instance as easily. Looking closer, I wonder if it's exiting Helper::convertToArray() early due to that first code block looking for ignore_getters?

The patch only applies to collection/array data sources.

For Eloquent, it is converted to an array thus making the model date serializer take effect. This explains why we still get 2024-08-11T10:23:57.000000Z when using an eloquent data source.
