ENH: Store `info` dates as `datetime` objects

See original GitHub issue

In principle there is no reason we can’t store info['meas_date'] and other date entries as datetime objects. @agramfort proposed this and it makes sense to me. On read we convert to datetime and on write we convert to what the FIF format wants to see.

I can work on it if people agree it’s worthwhile.

info['meas_date'] is easily interpretable by users, we hide the complications of the FIF format from them (they don’t need to know the details)
