Title:
  Bootstrap datepicker should support more formats

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mahara: 19.04.0
  OS: Linux 16.04
  DB: Postgres
  Browser: FF and Chrome (and others)

  The bootstrap date picker supports the following formats:

  * https://bootstrap-
  datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/options.html#format

  The date format, combination of d, dd, D, DD, m, mm, M, MM, yy, yyyy.

  d, dd: Numeric date, no leading zero and leading zero, respectively. Eg, 5, 05.
  D, DD: Abbreviated and full weekday names, respectively. Eg, Mon, Monday.
  m, mm: Numeric month, no leading zero and leading zero, respectively. Eg, 7, 07.
  M, MM: Abbreviated and full month names, respectively. Eg, Jan, January
  yy, yyyy: 2- and 4-digit years, respectively. Eg, 12, 2012.

  The Mahara lib/pieforms/pieform/elements/calendar.php file is not
  supporting all these formats and is still supporting the jQuery UI
  calendar.

  The functions:

  * pieform_element_calendar_convert_dateformat() and
  * pieform_element_calendar_convert_timeformat()

  Need to be updated to support the new date picker.

  For example, this date format should be valid:

  $string['pieform_calendar_dateformat'] = '%%d/%%mm/%%Y';

  Instead, when updating the view access date/times, we get the error:

  * Use the format DD/MMm/YYYY

  
  Please note... this is not the only format to test for. Please test for other valid formats.
