feat: enhance CSV handling with backup snapshots and last updated date parsing

- Added support for parsing multiple date formats for the "lastUpdatedOn" field from Google Play.
- Implemented a backup mechanism in CsvSink to create snapshots of the CSV file every N rows, with a configurable number of backups to keep.
- Updated the CsvSink class to handle file flushing and backup creation safely.
- Modified the run function to allow configuration of backup settings via command-line arguments.
