For the option itself, just change the type (of course adjust the struct variable as well):

{"init_program_date_time", "Time to start program date time at",
 OFFSET(init_program_date_time), AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, .flags = E},

And for parsing maybe have a look at libavformat/dashdec.c around line 191 which does
rudimentary ISO-8601 parsing.
