## parse_datetime_to_timestamp
```python
parse_datetime_to_timestamp(data)
```
Input a date-time text string of several formats and convert to a naive or timezone-aware epoch timestamp in UTC
Parameters:
data: (string) a string representation of a date-time in several supported formats
Returns:
Dict/None A Dictionary of the following format:
{
"format": integer, # for debugging purposes
"timestamp_naive": integer, # timestamp based on locally configured timezone
"timestamp_utc": integer # aware timestamp only if UTC timezone detected
}
The format integer denotes which date_time format conversion succeeded.
The timestamp_naive integer is the converted date-time string to a naive epoch timestamp.
The timestamp_utc integer is the converted date-time string to an aware epoch timestamp
in the UTC timezone. If an aware conversion cannot be performed (e.g. the UTC timezone
is not found in the date-time string), then this field will be None.
If the conversion completely fails, None is returned instead of a Dictionary
