Use datatype: BirthDate and broader gender picker for "what is your name" screen

It's hard to enter a birthdate with the stock date picker.

Gender "other" is also not very inclusive--suggest using standard AL gender picker. https://suffolklitlab.org/docassemble-AssemblyLine-documentation/docs/question_library/gender

Might be silly but can we edit BirthDate datatype? The UK writes dates as DD/MM/YYY

Interesting point! I think the BirthDate picker has the right order of fields though--the idea is to have the alphabetic month drop down menu as the first input to help avoid mistakes. It isn't meant to be a locale-specific question.

This was part of the research we did when designing it that way, to match how Google asks it: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/91019/best-display-for-date-of-birth-inputs

Great! So interesting how much consideration often goes into seemingly simple fields. I've changed made the suggested changes.
