Deserializing OpenAPI date and datetimes as JavaScript Date objects

I would like to add an option to the library, so that the user can deserialize date and datetime objects (both have type string and format date and date-time, respectively) as JavaScript Date object.

I have already tested it and this change in scalar.ts seems to actually be the only change needed (to be added inside the string case statement):

      if(item.format === 'date' || item.format === 'date-time') {
        return {
          value: 'Date' + nullable,
          isEnum: false,
          type: 'string',
          imports: [],
          schemas: [],
        };
      }

This would only support ISO 8601 dates and date times (default in the OpenAPI specification) but that is what most of the people use in the REST APIs these days.

However, there will also be change needed in the Axios instance, so that dates are properly deserialized as Date objects (currently these are strings).

Would you be open for such change? Do you think we should make it optional, via dedicated field in the configuration object?

Need to be reimplemented since v5. I will do it if you are still interested or someone else?

+1 for this, this is what openapi-generator does it makes then Date objects.
