Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
It would seem pertinent to be able to set the date and time atomically.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
A single dialog which can transition between a date and time picker, perhaps by sliding or tabs (using dots on top). Having a single positive action that produces a DateTime.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Calling a date picker and then calling a time picker as a result to the positive action of the date picker. This is functional, but clunky and a subpar user experience.

Research direction

Start by reading the MaterialDatePicker and MaterialTimePicker entry points to understand how their dialogs transition and return values. Define the interaction and API for one dialog that selects both date and time atomically, then verify that the resulting DateTime is produced through a single positive action.
