    Fix parsing of field-separated birthdate strings with 4-digit year

    ... which is the format expected/required when entering or editing birthdates in the terminal server. So this is a pretty embarassingly bad bug introduced just before the v3.20b release to fix a less-severe bug with ecWeb new user registration (still) writing 2-digit years to the user.birthdate field. :-(

    Fix for issue #863

    I considerd making these get_birthdate field functions more tolerant of less strictly formatted strings (e.g. single-digit month or day), but decided to keep this change to just a fix for the issue at hand. These functions could be more robust to handle more variance in user/script input.
