Move the date format UI to an optional module

Problem/Motivation

The date format entity type is in system module, along with Action and Menu. However, Action and Menu have their UI's in separate modules. To have DateFormat UI remain in system is inconsistent, and the system module could use some trimming down anyway.

Proposed resolution

Move the date format UI to an optional module.

    I agree with slimming down system.module but I'm not sure that date format UI warrants its own module. I had a look at all the other forms in system.module and I guess it makes sense in that this is the only EntityForm in the module. I also wondered what other forms could be removed and RssFeedsForm jumped out at me, but then I found it's already slated for removal in 🐛 Views RSS view mode settings are completely broken Needs work .

    I guess if we do want to proceed we need to:

    1. Deprecate the old DateFormatFormBase
    2. Update hook to enable date_format_ui on existing sites
    3. Enable in Standard and Umami
    4. Consider if this should be enabled in recipes
