Solves #3556.

This PR:

Replaces yyyy/mm/dd format in "Edit > Insert date" with yyyy-mm-dd (which happens to be the recommended format in ISO 8601), and mm.dd.yyyy with mm/dd/yyyy (using slashes seems to be more common for that date format), leaving dd.mm.yyyy as is (with dots).
Updates all the translation files accordingly (e.g., es.po currently translates the string yyyy/mm/dd to aaaa/mm/dd; this needed to be updated as well).
Sets yyyy-mm-dd as the default (first option in "Insert date", default custom date format, and also uses it in "Date & time" under Edit > Preferences > Templates, which is currently using inconsistent date formats).

I have split this PR into three commits for convenience, just in case the devs don't want to pull all of it. (For example, I understand that @frlan is currently fidgeting with the translations and maybe doesn't want to pull the commit that touches them.)
Feel free to squash them if preferred.
