fix: a calendar date is the same day everywhere; legal pages use the shared language picker

formatDate read a date-only value as UTC midnight and showed it in the viewer's zone, so the legal pages' last update read a day early west of UTC. Date-only values are shown in UTC. The legal pages' hand-rolled language buttons are the landing page's LanguageSwitcher. formatDateTime and formatDate get the two-language test formatNumber already had.
