Description

We have a `formatDate` method in `ui/helpers/utils/util.js`. We also have one in `shared/notifications/index.ts`. As of https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/24503, we also have one in `app/scripts/controllers/metametrics-data-deletion/metametrics-data-deletion.ts`

We should create one standard `formatDate` method that is used throughout the codebase.

Research direction

Compare the existing implementations in ui/helpers/utils/util.js, shared/notifications/index.ts, and app/scripts/controllers/metametrics-data-deletion/metametrics-data-deletion.ts, then inspect their call sites. The work is done when one shared formatDate method replaces the separate implementations and all usages are standardized across the codebase.
