Allow packages to use ISO 8601 dates in their PackageInfo.g #2727

Description

It would be nice if packages could also specify the release date in ISO 8601 format, i.e., as YYYY-MM-DD. This is less ambiguous than the current DD/MM/YYYY (which e.g. Americans may confuse with MM/DD/YYY).

Besides needing to modify lib/package.gi and the documentation, it may also be necessary to modify the package distribution.

This might be a good "first issue"?
