Subject: [PATCH] Update QueryExporterGDAL.cpp

Change export type of kDATE in a shape file to OFTDate in OGR/GDAL types.

From docs:
"In GDAL OGR, the type used for dates is OFTDate. This corresponds to a date field that stores only the year, month, and day, without any time or timezone information."
