When editing items that are date or datetime formatted without the
dateaccessioned cataloging plugin it is quite easy to cause an error. 

To recreate:
1. Make sure some 952 field with dates (datelastseen, dateaccessioned ) are
visible in the editor but make sure the dateaccessiond plugin is turned off. 
2. Set the date format system preference to mm/dd/yyyy
3. Edit an item and attempt to edit one of the date fields to something in the
correct dateformat, like 11/11/2018.
4. You get an error as Koha is expecting the SQL date type format of
YYYY-MM-DD. 

I'm not sure how to best solve this. My first thought is that we should require
the dateaccessioned.pl plugin on date fields. 

Or we could add a hint about format?
