Fix data type handling for datepicker and grid filter components

here is what's up now:

- <b-datepicker> expects v-model to be a Date
- <tailbone-datepicker> also expects a Date
- <grid-filter-date-value> uses String for its v-model

latter is so the value can represent a date range, e.g. 'YYYY-MM-DD|YYYY-MM-DD'

anyway there was previously confusion about data type among these
components, and hopefully they are straight now per the above outline
