UI: Date and Time dialog inserts a format in one step

Insert › Date & Time opens the format list instead of placing a date
immediately. With no format, update flag or language, insert.dateTime
opens the dialog and does not edit. OK applies one undo: a field when
Update automatically is on, or the shown text when it is off.
