Example DOB field can break for self-registration

[Terran McCanna]

The same library setting for "Example dob field on patron registration" is displayed by both the staff client's patron registration form and the OPAC self-registration form, but the OPAC self-registration form has different DOB requirements.

To recreate problem:
1. Enable the OUS for "Allow patron self-registration"
2. Enable the OUS for "Show DOB field on patron registration"
3. Set the OUS for "Format date with this pattern" to MM/dd/yyyy (note that there is an OUS change between 3.1 and 3.2)
4. Set the OUS for "Example DOB field on patron registration" to MM/DD/YYYY
5. In the staff client, test registering a new patron - the date example and the accepted format should match.
6. In the OPAC, test the "Request Library Card" form - the date example shows MM/DD/YYY, but if you submit it in that format, you get the message "You have entered an invalid date, or an improperly formatted date. Please enter Date of Birth in YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/MM/DD format and try again."

Ideally, the self-registration form should use the same date format required by the staff client. Alternatively, it should have a different OUS for the "Example dob field" for display on the self-registration form.

I can confirm the date of birth date format problem as described by Terran when set to MM-DD-YYYY. In our case the format contains hyphens.

In bootstrap it's not possible to enter a date as MM/dd/yyyy into the self registration form. I manually typed in 03/15/2022 and when I clicked out of the form it changed to 8-09-11 (which became 1908-09-11 when I loaded the pending patron). The same thing happens if you used hyphens instead of slashes.
