Subject: [PATCH] OvmfPkg/SmbiosPlatformDxe: tweak fallback release date again

In case PcdFirmwareReleaseDateString is not set use a valid date
as fallback. But the default valid date can _NOT_ pass the Microsoft
SVVP test "Check SMBIOS Table Specific Requirements". The test emitted
the error message:

BIOS Release Date string is unexpected length: 8. This string must be in
MM/DD/YYYY format. No other format is allowed and no additional information
may be included. See field description in the SMBIOS specification.

Base on SMBIOS spec v3.7.0:

08h     2.0+    BIOS Release Date       BYTE    STRING
String number of the BIOS release date. The date
string, if supplied, is in either mm/dd/yy or
mm/dd/yyyy format. If the year portion of the string
is two digits, the year is assumed to be 19yy.
NOTE: The mm/dd/yyyy format is required for SMBIOS
version 2.3 and later.

So, let's tweek the fallback release date again.
