Allow `LocalDate` to be serialized/deserialized as number (epoch day)

See original GitHub issue

The LocalDateSerializer only supports serializing LocalDate instances as strings or arrays, both of which suffer from localization issues (“is it year-month-day or year-day-month?”).

An alternative would be to use LocalDate#toEpochDay() and LocalDate#ofEpochDay(long), thus allowing a (less human readable but) unambiguous format.

If there is indeed variant to convert to/from long, supporting @JsonFormat(shape=Shape.NUMBER) would make sense I think? Support should also require deserializer handling.
