DateInput component missing type support for ref prop

[justin-rankin]

Current behaviour

Recently the a ref prop was added to both DateRange and DateInput components; however, IDE Intellisense show that DateInput does not find a definition for the ref prop.

This can currently only be "fixed" temporarily by either:

1. declaring the module - declare module "carbon-react/lib/components/date";
2. importing the .d.ts file directly - import type{ DateChangeEvent } from "carbon-react/lib/components/date/date";

After speaking with @edleeks87 and @robinzigmond , it seems that something is missing from Carbon DateInput's .d.ts file or declaration, and should be included.

Expected behaviour

Expected behaviour is the ability to use ref prop while implementing the DateInput component, as i am informed that it already should.

The generated storybook docs should include mention of ref also.
