Add custom date fields to tickets and helps date selection

Description

This plugin allows for validating custom fields as dates in tickets and also for milestones due_date field (some restriction apply).

Currently this will only validate that the given input looks like the specified date format (see below). Date range checking could be added if someone asks nicely enough.
