Dates: improved autocomplete
Description
Like discussed in the last meeting we will improve the autocomplete functions of date fields:
If e.g. only a begin year is provided, a time span for this year will be created (instead just the first day of this year). The reasoning behind is that it is the more likely use case and it also prevents accidentally entering a precise date (year-01-01) instead of year range.
Additional information from Stefan from #2156:
If only a year YYYY is entered: set begin_from to 1.Jan.YYYY and begin_to to 31.Dec.YYYY (respectively for end_from, end_to) Same for month and day

Branch: feature/autocomplete_dates
So far, the dates work as described in the description.
One question is, how will we handle hour, minutes and seconds? Currently, I implemented it in this way, that a timespan from 00:00:01 to 23:59:59 is entered, which would be correct. But as a side effect, the dates will be displayed with hour, minutes and seconds, even if the module is switched off.
Another side effect is, that begin and end will always be a timespan unless year, month, day, hour, minute and second is entered.
So either we ignore time in this case for now, or we have to think about handling it.

I would say we just do autocomplete for dates and ignore time. Time precision should not suddenly "appear" if people work with dates only.
In case someone uses time we shouldn't do an autocomplete because we could run into all kinds of issues there.

Thank you, I thought the same.
