chrono is not a replacement as it doesn't offer the functionality of
tools::Date and DateTime, only for Time.

I don't care in which module the source code lives or what implements
it, but I definitely want to keep the existing functionality.

Problem with moving anything to sal is that we then guarantee stable API
and even ABI to some degree as sal is part of the SDK, or have LibO only
interfaces like with OUString.
