Issue:
Track creation date of sub graphs
**Describe the new feature you'd like**
The federated store should be able to track the creation date of new sub graphs

**Why do you want this feature?**
So old graphs can be aged off

**Additional context**
For implementation, a date field could be added to [GraphSerialisable](https://github.com/gchq/Gaffer/blob/6ce0a4e3fceb097943d00d53aeacad1e59a310c5/core/graph/src/main/java/uk/gov/gchq/gaffer/graph/GraphSerialisable.java#L50) that gets populated as current datetime when created



Pull request:
Gh 2839 track creation date of sub graphs
- Adds /config/graphCreatedTime endpoint to retrieve graph creation timestamp associated with REST API
- Adds operation to retrieve list of all graphIds & associated creation timestamps. In a federated store this will return all sub-graph ids and creations times
- Adds custom property to Accumulostore on table creation to save graph creation time
- Saves MapStore based graph creation times as Store variable on build 


# Related issue

- Resolve #2839
