Bug Description

Currently there is no support for a datetime chooser in Oxide. In desktop Chrome, the datetime chooser is implemented in HTML and relies on a popup window. This doesn't work for us because popup windows aren't plumbed in (and we don't want this approach in any case). Chrome for Android uses a separate path that delegates to a native datetime chooser.

We'll need to do enable the codepaths that delegate to a native chooser in the same way we did for popup menus, and add an API to allow UbuntuWebView to provide a datetime chooser component

@Alex - We're at less than a month before the 1.12 freeze. Will you have a chance to dust off the branch in time?
