date: fix date -f dates.txt is failing (#6148)

* date: fix `date -f dates.txt is failing`

This commit is a trivial followup for:
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/4917
and
https://github.com/uutils/parse_datetime/pull/12

The functionality to parse the datetime was moved into the parse_datetime
crate and the only (tiny) piece left is to call it from `date`.

It also adds the test-case from the original issue. I did not include
the two tests from PR#4917 because they appear to work even without
this change. I am happy to include them of course if prefered.

Closes: #4657

Thanks to Ben Schofield

* tests: tweak changes to test_date.rs to be more idiomatic
