Bug 11221: ensure that SQLHelper uses NULL rather than 0000-00-00 as default date value
The default values for date fields is undef, so if a date field contains
an empty string, we should insert NULL in the DB, not 0000-00-00.
The format_date_in_iso routine should be only called if a date is
defined, is not equal to an empty string and does not match the iso
regex.
This patch fixes a bug where editing or creating a patron record
without setting the birth date results in 0000-00-00 rather than null
being set as the dateofbirth value.
Partial test plan:
1. Create a new patron. Leave dateofbirth empty.
2. Save the record.
3. Open the record for editing.
4. Save the record without making changes.
5. Koha gives no error.

Passes all tests and QA script.
Now when no date is given NULL is saved to the database.
Tested:
- Adding a patron without date of birth
- Editing the patron, entering a date of birth
- Editing the patron, deleting date of birth
All worked as expected.
