8962	Make `input_formats` and `format` work consistently across `date`, `datetime`, and `time` fields and widgets.	Tai Lee	Karen Tracey	"Currently, there are some inconsistencies in what form fields and widgets we have available for `date`, `datetime`, and `time` data. There are also inconsistencies in how the `format` argument applies to the widgets, and the `input_formats` applies to the fields.

 1. `DateTimeInput` and `TimeInput` exist, `DateInput` doesn't.
 2. `DateTimeInput` accepts `format`, but `TimeInput` doesn't.
 3. `SplitDateTimeField` doesn't use `SplitDateTimeWidget` by default.
 4. `SplitDateTimeField` doesn't allow the user to specify `input_formats`.
 5. `SplitDateTimeWidget` uses two `TextInput` widgets, instead of `TimeInput` and the missing `DateInput` (and thus doesn't allow the user to specify `formats`).
 6. `django.contrib.localflavor.generic.forms` is missing `SplitDateTimeField`.
 7. The documentation is sparse on detail for `SplitDateTimeField`, `DateTimeInput` and `TimeInput`.

This patch:

 1. Adds `DateInput`, which accepts `format`, and is used for `DateField` by default.
 2. Adds `format` as an argument to `TimeInput`.
 3. Uses `SplitDateTimeWidget` for `SplitDateTimeField` by default.
 4. Adds `input_date_formats` and `input_time_formats` as arguments to `SplitDateTimeField`.
 5. Uses `DateInput` and `TimeInput` for `SplitDateTimeWidget`, and passes through `date_format` and `time_format` through to `DateInput` and `TimeInput` as `format`, respectively.
 6. Adds `SplitDateTimeField` to `django.contrib.localflavor.generic.forms`.
 7. Adds documentation for all of these changes.
 8. Adds tests for all of these changes.
