I think it might be cleaner if we extract / parse the `initTimestamp` in
the sentinel sequence number case determination at the beginning of run().
As for checking if the timestamp is parseable, we should do that when
validating the user-provided property configs locally at the job client. You
can take a look at the constructor code of `FlinkKinesisConsumer` - that's
where we validate the properties. This validation is done at the job client, so
that if in any case the properties is errorneous / unparseable, we can handle
that _before_ a Flink job is actually launched.

> We had a Kinesis user requesting this feature on an offline chat.
> To be specific, we let all initial Kinesis shards be iterated starting from
> records at the given timestamp.
> The AWS Java SDK we're using already provides API for this, so we can add
> this functionality with fairly low overhead:
