Implementation of Date/time input types in Chromium-Android is hacky. We intercepts input events for the input types at outside of WebKit, and opens date/time pickers provided by Android system.  I guess iOS uses a similar way.

WebCore has interfaces to handle date/time chooser; ChromeClient::openDateTimeChooser, DateTimeChooser, and DateTimeChooserClient.

* Date/time types are not textfields essentially. BaseDateAndTimeInputType should stop inheriting from TextFieldInputType. It wastes memory.  A text block with -webkit-appearance:menulist would be enough.

* Use the existing date/time chooser interfaces, and stop the hack in Chromium-Android.
