feat(common): add injection token for default DatePipe configuration (#…

…47157)

This commit introduces a new `DATE_PIPE_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` token, which
can be used to configure default DatePipe options, such as date
format and timezone.

DEPRECATED:

The `DATE_PIPE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE` token is now deprecated in favor
of the `DATE_PIPE_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` token, which accepts an object
as a value and the timezone can be defined as a field (called `timezone`)
on that object.
