[FIX] web: datepicker: crash on invalid date

There is an open issue on the tempusdominus lib:
https://github.com/tempusdominus/bootstrap-4/issues/223

It occurs when there is a valid value in a date(time) field, and
the user unsets it by setting an invalid one.

This rev. fixes the issue in Odoo by preventing to reach the buggy
piece of code in the lib. In a few words, when the user sets an
invalid date, we reset the previous valid date (which is what the
lib tries to do anyway).

Task 2057009

closes odoo/odoo#36211
