Mockup of possible XMP Video date field in the metadata editor.

SUMMARY
This is related to bug #398624. For some reason, some pictures have a "Video Date". It can only be seen in the metadata editor, but it affects the picture sorting order. Moreover, the only way to modify the video is through the BQM, but it is not very intuitive.

I think a more consistent behavior would be also allowing to modify this date in the Metadata Editor. In the XMP tab it currently shows the digitization and creation dates, but not the video date. It could be included there, so the metadata editor would be totally comprehensive regarding the dates.

I've made a simple mockup. (see attached file)

I am using digikam-6.1.0-git-20190320T143140-x86-64.appimage in Ubuntu 18.04 with the Gnome DE.
