🧪 Unit tests for _parse_date

[edithatogo]

🎯 What: This PR adds unit tests for the _parse_date function in contracts/tools/src/pic_contracts/parameters.py. The function was previously untested.

📊 Coverage: The tests now cover all logic paths of _parse_date:

• Valid ISO 8601 string input -> Correct datetime.date object
• None input -> returns None
• Invalid string input -> Raises ValueError
• Incorrect input type -> Raises TypeError

✨ Result: Test coverage for parameters.py has significantly increased, ensuring _parse_date works as intended and is safe to use within the codebase. Coverage for parameters.py went from 26% to 83% by adding these test cases.
