Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As I originally commented in issues/3089#issuecomment-1445232424, if I happen to know someone's month or year or day of birth but not the other parts of the date, I might still want to store that.

Describe the solution you'd like

Any part of the date should be possible to omit.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't know of any which would provide identical functionality, even in a roundabout manner.

Additional context

This occurs frequently.

Research direction

Start by reading the requirements in this issue and the referenced discussion in issues/3089#issuecomment-1445232424; no files or tests are identified in the payload. Determine how dates are represented and validated before defining the change. Done means a contact can store a birth date with any combination of month, day, and year omitted.
