Implement unmaskOnPost configuration option for the DateInput

[aleksandarevangelatov]

Bug report

When the DateInput is part of a form, upon form submission if no value is entered the placeholder is submitted. It would be useful if the DateInput provides a configuration option to unmask on post, similar to the MaskedTextBox unmaskOnPost configuration option.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Run this dojo
2. Do not enter any values
3. Press submit

Current behavior

Inspect the Network tab and note the value submitted for Time: Time: hours:minutes:seconds

Expected/desired behavior

No value should be submitted

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.1.119
• Browser: [all]
