Locales that prioritize 2-digit years shows invalid year in admin date picker.

[Aldian Fazrihady]

I am using id locale. Somehow, on that locale, the django admin uses two digits year to be displayed in input fields.
The datepicker UI will display this wrong year:

Instead of showing year 2019, it shows year 1919.
If I changed the locale to en, the datepicker will display the correct year (2019). I also noticed that en by default uses 4 digits year in input fields.

Therefore, my workaround for this problem is to use 4 digits year for that locale by configuring FORMAT_MODULE_PATH. Now datepicker shows the correct year on id locale.

However, it is quite clear that there is a bug in the datepicker display that happens when two digits year format is used.

I agree we should prioritize date formats with 4-digits year in id locales, e.g.
