Summary: Special:Preferences dies if user's date preference is

simple patch to solve (?) the problem
The newly revamped [[Special:Preferences]] checks if all user preference values
are valid, and if not, it resets them to the global defaults.
In case of the 'date' preference, the global default is hardcoded to 'default'
(see $wgDefaultUserOptions), however, some languages do not have a date
formatting style called 'default' (e.g. cs, hu). In those languages,
Special:Preferences dies with an internal error “Global default default is
invalid for field date” (see
http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soubor:Vnit%C5%99n%C3%AD_chyba2.jpg).
The global default for date formatting should be language-dependent. However,
no big deal, it seems we already have that, we are just not using it. See
MessagesXx::$defaultDateFormat.
Therefore, I believe a fix might be as simple as presented in the attachment.
