Item15080: make {DefaultDateFormat} a text field

In configure the default date format can only be set to a couple of hard coded format strings, i.e. this list does not contain $day.$mo.$year which is the most common date format in an european context. The date format can have quite a lot of different formats so that we should make this a free form string field instead of a select box of predefined values.

Proposed change:
