Eric Kaden 93f90ef760 M12: XFA dates are written and read in the field's data picture ...

A field's data picture (<bind><picture>, such as date{YYYYMMDD}) is how
its value is written in the XFA data, but PdfCraft always wrote dates
there as ISO (2026-10-18) and read them back as ISO, so a form that keeps
its dates as 20261018 got a different format from PdfCraft than from
other viewers, and data those viewers wrote was shown as stored.

The parser keeps <bind><picture> as Field::data_picture. A typed date is
still read in the field's own pattern and turned into ISO; it is then
written in the data picture when the field has one. Reading goes the
other way, on layout and when values are taken from the data of a form
laid out before. A value that doesn't match its data picture is read as
ISO, so data written by earlier versions still reads. The date-letters
rule for XFA picture clauses moves to one helper (date_letters) that the
layout's date_pattern now uses too.
