It would be very useful to have direct access to dt_from_string in our templates. This would allow for us to handle custom date and time formatting. It would, for example, allow us to output the month name for a given date via Template Toolkit easily.

Test Plan: 1) Apply this patch 2) In a notice add '[% Use KohaDates %][% KohaDates.datetime_from_string().ymd %]' to the top of a notice 3) Generate that notice for a patron 4) Note today's date in iso format is rendered at the top of the notice
Hadn't spotted this before Marcel brought it to my attention with bug 33242. I like the syntax we discuss introducing there for some available datetime methods.. but I also see the advantage of having the option of getting back a bare, timezone accounted, datetime which you can then just use normal dt methods upon. I think I'd rename the method to just 'dt' however.. lazy typing ;P

Tested: [% KohaDates.datetime_from_string(checkout.issuedate).add( days => 3) | $KohaDates %] too
