[Rails-core] Date Helper Mega Patch

[Bob Silva]

Hi guys,

I'm going to start work on a mega-patch to close the following tickets:

1260
1050
847
1427
2089
2655
2998
2833
1382
363
1782
and a new one that's only 6 hours old: 3800


They all have to do with the Date Helper.

* Support index and/or @auto_index
* Enable discard year
* time_select (alias to datetime_select with previous patch applied)
* Unique id's as per w3c spec
* :order for datetime_select to mimic date_select :order option
* add :include_seconds to datetime_select, select_datetime and time_select


Opinions, ideas or objections so I don't have anything in the patch which is
likely to get it shot down.

Thanks

Bob Silva
