Note that Firefox < 57.0 does not support the HTML5 date input and Safari may not either. I did not add any user agent checking because we don't do that anywhere else in the OPAC as far as I can tell. If anyone thinks that should be done, we could add it and display a message about how to format the date in the text field.
Branch is user/dyrcona/ lp1723651- html5-date- input-in- opac in the working repository.
