Convert date control to <input type=text>

Converts <input type=date> in the HTML source code to <input type=text>. In some cases, it is troublesome to select a date decades ago in the calendar picker of the browser, so use it when you dare to set <input type=text> such as date of birth.

• In addition to the YYYY-MM-DD format, you can enter in the YYYY/MM/DD and YYYYMMDD formats.
• You can omit leading 0 of the month and day, such as 2000-1-3 or 2000/1/3.
• You can also enter in full-width numbers.
• If a non-existent date such as February 30 is entered, the error message specified by the data-validation-message-date-noexist attribute is set to HTMLInputElement.setCustomValidity(). (The specific behavior depends on the browser, but most will be displayed in a tooltip).
