Title: Use Jquery UI Datepicker as Default - Issue 194

Addresses Issue 194

Issue 194 asked for a "Now" button in the javascript datepicker; this was primarily for use in NCS Navigator where many surveys asked for a date/time stamp to monitor the process for the current survey.

In discussions about surveyor, we decided to move from the default jquery tools date input to the jquery ui datepicker for date, time, and datetime fields.

This pull request addresses that change, including notes on how to configure surveyor to use either datepicker or date input - or to not use javascript at all for dates and rely on the rails date helpers (multiple dropdown lists for each date time part).
