Allow mat-datepicker to return a string instead of a date object.

#### Please describe the feature you would like to request.
Allow for the mat-datepicker to return a string, instead of a `Date` object.

#### What is the use-case or motivation for this proposal?
I am currently attempting to use mat-datepicker, with the Angular Form Builder. The only issue, is that mat-datepicker will return the selected value as a Date object instead of a string. This does not allow for the value to be immediately passed in from the mat-datepicker into a formGroup, and then sent as a request to the server without first converting it to a string. In an app that heavily uses date-picker it requires a new component to be built on top of mat-datepicker.

#### Is there anything else we should know?
The following is a [stackblitz](https://angular-material-nw1brd.stackblitz.io/), which re-iterates point that the mat-datepicker returns an object, instead of the expected string. You will have to open up console in order to see value.

If you have any recommendations on how to provide a value from a module side of things, so that mat-datepicker returns a string instead of a date object, it would be very much so appreciated. Thank you.

Start with the mat-datepicker behavior shown in the linked StackBlitz and trace how its selected value enters the Angular Form Builder formGroup. Clarify the expected string format and whether the change should be configurable before deciding what completion and compatibility requirements apply.
