Allow updating of dates using the generic updater, by adding a x-release-please-date or x-release-please-version-date (to update both version and date) to a file anywhere.

The implementation is still very basic. The date is retrieved by just checking the current date, but a better approach would be to look at the timestamp of the previous feat/fix or breaking change for a conventional commit, I think.

I've added an option --date-format to specify the date format. There are no assertions with respect to this right now, and the regex matching can be improved in several ways.

One option I considered was to try to auto-detect the date format, but I think this is bound to be problematic because there are ambiguities in date formatting.

Fixes #1798 🦕
