Descripción
#### 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.
