[Bug]: Invalidation of typical session ID

[CodyCBakerPhD]

What happened?

Very strange/silly bug just discovered by the JazLab; not sure how long this has technically been around (I usually use underscores in session IDs personally)

Steps to Reproduce

from pynwb.testing.mock.file import mock_NWBFile
from pynwb import NWBHDF5IO

with NWBHDF5IO(path=".../Downloads/test_invalid.nwb.hdf5", mode="w") as io:
    io.write(mock_NWBFile(session_id="2024-01-01"))

Traceback

- found the following errors:
root/general/session_id (general/session_id): incorrect type - expected 'text', got 'isodatetime'

This looks like an issue with the validator. I'll create a ticket on HDMF.
