[$80] Fix issues with the birth date field in Basic Info page

[ThomasKranitsas]

1. There's no way to go back in years. A user should be able to change the years without having to go back month by month.
2. Currently, the default placeholder is today's date. Modify the DatePicker component in /src/shared/components/challenge-listing/Filters/DatePicker.jsx to be able to show a placeholder instead of today's date and update the basic info form to show a placeholder text instead of today's date.

@ThomasKranitsas
1.is changing library expected? such an implementation anywhere else where i can refer from?
2.what is the placeholder to be shown then?

[ThomasKranitsas]

Sorry for the delay! I missed the notification for this one.

1. If possible, please don't change the library. If not, it should be fine.
2. Birth date or Date of birth should work.

@ThomasKranitsas the current library doesn't support previous/next year. There is a feature request at library's issue list react-dates/react-dates#1289.

So the option is either try to implement it in the current library or change the library.

Both option will be a bit time consuming.

[ThomasKranitsas]

how much time do you need?

[nahidshahin]

@ThomasKranitsas 3rd option could be make the date field editable so that user can type previous year. It should be faster to implement.

[ThomasKranitsas]

Does that help react-dates/react-dates#1106 ?

[nahidshahin]

Thanks @ThomasKranitsas, seems useful.

[nahidshahin]

@ThomasKranitsas the library is working now. Need to fix CSS and few other issues.

[nahidshahin]

@ThomasKranitsas raising PR shortly. Still need to fix some CSS issue.

[nahidshahin]

@ThomasKranitsas raised PR #1769, addressed both 1 & 2
