Summary0027956: Remove need to use {} for dynamic dates in custom fields default value
Description

Until now, to specify a dynamic date as default, the admin had to enclose the format in curly brackets, e.g. {tomorrow}. This was possibly implemented to differentiate them from an actual date specification (e.g. 2021-02-06).

This is actually not necessary, as the PHP primitives used to transform the format into a timestamp (i.e. strtotime() or DateTime objects) are smart enough to deal with the input without the brackets.

TagsNo tags attached.

Validate date custom fields default value format

Prior to saving the custom field's definition, we try to convert the
provided format to a date, and if that fails an error is thrown.

This also removes the need to enclose the format within curly brackets
(e.g. {tomorrow}); this is more user-friendly, and simplifies the code
as the given value can be passed on as-is to DateTime transformation.

Backwards-compatibility is maintained for now, but may be removed in a
future release.
