feat: add support for field date

[LukasCBossert]

Great tool! But as far as I can see the field date is not considered for sorting etc. It doesn't matter whether date={YYYY} or date={YYYY-MM-DD} it is always omitted.

Does this answer your question? https://github.com/monperrus/bibtexbrowser/blob/master/bibtexbrowser-documentation.wiki#How_to_configure_the_sorting_order_of_Bibtex_entries

Honestly, it doesn't. I am using the WP-Plugin and I barely have a clue how to change things in PHP.
I was wondering if it is possible that the (rather complex) field date is considered automatically if there is no field year.

if it is possible that the (rather complex) field date is considered automatically if there is no field year.

That's a good idea, pull request welcome!

Until someone can come up with a pull request, there is a solution outside of bibtexbrowser by converting date into year, month, day: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/265979/98739 (see the discussion in plk/biber#301)
