V3 Rest API error: Contact endpoint errors on use of BETWEEN for MODIFIED_DATE
Overview
When using the REST v3 API, the contacts endpoint provides a DB Syntax Error when using BETWEEN with the modified_date. The debug statement suggests the BETWEEN isn't being populated in the SQL statement:
WHERE ( contact_a.is_deleted = '0' AND contact_a.modified_date BETWEEN '' ) AND ( 1 )
This can be reproduced with a couple of seperate CiviCRM instances, and the other endpoints which have modified_date work with the same BETWEEN syntax.

Reproduction steps
- In the API Explorer, select Entity 'Contact' and Action 'Get'.
- In parameters, select 'modified_date', then BETWEEN as the operator, then ['2020-01-01 00:00:00', '2020-12-31 23:59:59'] as the value
