#4607: New shapelib doesn't handle date = ""

 Some shapefiles include "" as a value for date fields and when we try and
 send that straight into PgSQL it complains. The old loader handles this,
 so it must have been patched at the shapelib level. This should be fixed
 at the loader level to avoid future shapelib update issues (never again)
